How's your week been so far? Has the snow stayed away? It's been chilly my end but the sun has made up for it - having said that, it is wet and very windy today!
I'm up on the CrafTangles blog today with a beautiful new paper pad called Wanderlust. As you can imagine from the title it's a travel themed paper pad but it incorporates some stunning florals as well.
For my first card I went all out on the travel theme and made a postcard using one of the papers which I cut to size then used glimmer paste through a stencil to create the 'Carta Postale'. I stuck this on another of the papers and fussy cut some images as decoupage.
I went around the sentiment and postcard with distress ink sofly to create a more vintage look.
For my next card I chose a fresh, floral paper and used my favourite fairy dust glimmer paste through a leaf stencil to get a textured background.
For my final card I used a damask stencil on a predominantly Italian themed page. The damask just made me think of the embroidery and material prints I'd seen when I'd travelled around parts of Italy.
To soften the black gesso I'd used through the stencil I added some copper art wax. I love the sentiment on this on - Take Me Anywhere!
See you again later on in the week,
Shabneez
