LOVELY LAYERS VELLUM

 Hello friends !

This afternoon I demonstrated how I created some cards using the Lovely Layers vellum from the Annual Catalogue. I had totally forgotten I had these until I was ;putting away my DSP I used last week !

My first card uses the gorgeous koala from the Will & Sweet stamp set as well as some fussy cut leaves from the Botanical layers set .

 I was dying to use my Radiating Stitches dies which arrived on Thursday ! These are found in the on line store only & will NOT be in the new Catalogue . If you happen to find that they're sold out when you try to order it will say " temporarily unavailable " & this means they WILL be restocked . If you cannot find them that indicates they are gone & not coming back . For those of you who like me to order for you I can order these for you the same as I always have but please go to the website & have a browse around so that you can get a better idea with samples shown as well ! 

Now to my card , I had created a version earlier as I wasn't sure if I'd receive my order in time for my Live . On that card , shown below I heat embossed the silhouette of the girl using white embossing powder . Those watching my Live preferred that look but hey I've shown you both versions so which do you prefer ? Maybe if I'd used black powder that would have been better ? I wanted to create the frame using my new dies & the Dry Brushed Metallic sheets & have it look like an aged frame .

I used the Greatest Journey & Majestic Mountain dies for this one & the clouds are fussy cut from Rain or Shine DSP . I thought the grey/ black clouds perfect for the night sky I was wanting to create .

This one uses the mountain dies too as well as some foliage fluff from Flowers of Home dies . Hard to see but i have stamped some mountains in Garden Green on the background also .

Nested Friends using the same designed sheet as my koala .

These samples use some of the sheets with the oblong circle in the centre & the DSP is Design A Daydream - a hostess set from the Annual Catalogue

For a fun card I used a retired larger circle die from SU & Rain or Shine DSP

I hope I have inspired you to pull out some supplies you forgot you had as well ! 

Happy stamping until next time .
