Vintage Vogue and Flower Shaping

Good Morning everyone :)

We had a long weekend here in Australia and it sure was a good one.  We were blessed with perfect blue skies which were certainly glorious in this part of the world!

Yesterday I took the kids for a surf to the beach and managed a lovely long walk along the ocean shore. We also went and saw Alice in Wonderland and really enjoyed the 3D Movie experience although I'm not too sure about the glasses lol..

Speaking of 3D I am sharing a very 3D card today and once again I used my Top Note Die  and Perfect Poka Dots Embossing Folder, they just go hand in hand don't they?

My featured card was made using the Vintage Vogue stamps (once again lol). I stamped the flowers in Close to Cocoa and Pirouette Pink onto Very Vanilla card, sponged the edges with Stampin' Up!'s Regal Rose, Close to Cocoa and Soft Suede ink pads. The card base is Kraft Card, Whisper White, Pirouette Pink and Very Vanilla.

I stamped my own background in Pirouette Pink using the little floral stamp from the Vintage Vogue Set and then sponged over it with Soft Suede.  The Sentiment (Occasional Greetings) is a 2nd generation stamped image using Soft Suede Ink.

  

A while ago my girlfriend Sandra Kadzow introduced me to a shaping tool for adding shape to my flowers.. well shall I say there's no turning back now!  I love it ~ thank you Sandra :)  so my flowers were shaped with a shaping tool for extra dimension, then glued together with Tombow Mono Adhesive and attached to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.

For the little stamped scroll,  I inked part of the image from Elegant Thank You

I hope that you enjoyed my card, leave a comment if you did :) ~ it really does make my day! Back again soon
