Morning, I have another project for you this morning using the 'Rustic Wedding' Signature Collection from Sara. Just by changing the colours used, the look and feel changes completely. I thought it might be a good idea to share to show you how versatile it can be, even when used within the wedding theme. We all adore the Rustic look, but it's always good to make as much use as possible from your stash. A quiet moment for the Happy couple in the moonlight, after all the excitement of the day, The Perfect Ending.
You will need:
Rustic Wedding 'Just Married Die'
Rustic Wedding 'Always and Forever' Stamp Set
Matt Black Card 6 x 6''
Sheena Stamping Card 6 x 6''
Centura Pearl Hint of Silver Card Base 6.5 X 6.5''
Distress Inks: Faded Jeans, Blueprint Sketch and Chipped Sapphire
Silver Embossing Powder
Versamark Ink Pad
Anti Static Bag
Heat Gun
Pebeo Silver Gilding Wax
Self Adhesive Sheet (single sided)
Clear Glitter
Step 1: Create your landscape on the Sheena Card, Use ripped copier paper for the hills and mountains. Use the Distress inks, the deeper shades towards the edges and lighter towards where the hills meet to give the moonlit illusion. Use Stick n Spray to secure a circle to your piece, position it where you would like your oversized moon.
Step 2: Add your sky, again the darker shades blending towards the centre, getting lighter towards the moon and land. Deepen the edges with the deepest colour. Then stamp a few tress for depth of your scene.
Step 3: Centre your die within the black card, cut and emboss the first. The cut a further 2 the same, layer them up using Tacky Glue, keeping the embossed piece at the top.
Step 4: Use a section of self adhesive sheet behind the bride, trim around the edges with scissors. Cover with clear glitter to add sparkle to her dress. Secure to your background piece with either foam tape or 3D glue gel.
Step 5: Using Versamark, stamp the 'Just Married' sentiment within the banner and emboss with silver embossing powder. (Don't forget to use your anti-static bag first). Trim around the banner, shape and add to your design.
Step 6: Sparingly add the silver gilding wax, to the trees and leaves to add the hint of moonlight. The to finish the card add to your card base, made with Centura Pearl, Hint of Silver.

ReplyDeleteThank you, It's a beautiful die and so easy to change it's look either with colour choice or snipping parts away, it really has been fun to use, but once again I ran out of time before ideas.xx
DeleteThis is such a beautiful card and your tutorial so explanatory. I have quite a few of Sara's dies so tutorials are really really helpful. So many blogs I have visited, whilst their projects are so useful for providing inspiration, sometimes I find myself asking "now how did they do that?" So pleas, please keep up with your tutorials.
