Add sparkle to Anna Griffin Rose

I got the beautiful 18th century stamp set by Anna Griffin some months ago.  I love the Rose stamps included in this huge kit.  I can't stop playing with them LOL..  I wanted to do the technique that Ali Reeve shows on the TV.. where she inks the stamp in the colours she wants.. spritz it with water, stamps onto damp spritzed paper letting the ink run, creating the coloured base for the stamp.. then drying it off with a heat gun to then over-stamp in black or what ever colour you choose.  I couldn't stop doing them with this lovely stamp he he... so now I have a big pile of ready to use roses!!

I fancied adding glitter but instead of adding actual glitter for a bit of sparkle,so becasue this stamp is a clear one  I re-stamped and embossed with holographic embossing powder.!..I have to say - I love the results!!

Here's a quick card I made using one of them..

.... here, the light catches the embossing...

.... this is the embossing powder I used.. it adds a lovely glitter holographic sparkle.

Thank you for popping by today... I have been busy but will be back with more of these Roses soon..

Loving thoughts frame

Since getting the beautiful Sizzix 'Loving Thoughts set' of embossing folders I can't stop using them Lol. I've been mixing them with Anna Griffin papers and stamps.

 Here's the embossed frame with some poinsettia diecuts from Anna Griffin Christmas papers and down the edge.  Snowflakes are Martha Stewart punch.

 

 I recently got the gorgeous Anna Griffin 18th century stamp library to play with and this is one of the first cards I made with them.

 I embossed the frame lightly rubbing metallic rub ons while it was still in the folder (to help keep the colour on the raised parts only).  I made the roses from another sizzix die using Tim Holtz inks to colour them. The rose leaves are also die cut but the Ivy leaves are rubber stamped.. they come from Joanna Sheens Pressed flower stamps.  The lacey border is from the JS Girly things rubber stamp sheet.  I love the spider web netting that I used for the bottom part of the card.

I cut the frame out after embossing for this card. The stamped sentiment is from my stash, I embellished it with tiny gems and stars. Both papers are HOTP.

Thanks for looking today.. I will be back tomorrow with more cards I have made using the beautiful Anna Griffin 18th century stamp set.

Bye for now
