STAMPIN' UP! FINE ART FLORAL "I MISS YOU" CARD

Today's card is all about Poppy Parade, which is one of the colours of flowers on the beautiful Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper.  After overlaying a piece of Golden Garden acetate on the DSP (adhering it in spots with dabs of Stampin' Seal+), I matted the floral panel on a piece of Whisper White card.

I chose the small spray of flowers from the Art Gallery stamp set, and coloured directly on the stamp with Poppy Parade and Mossy Meadow Stampin' Write Markers.  I stamped the image onto a piece of Whisper White card, and die-cut it.  After adding a few highlights, with the same markers, to the stamped image, I decided to add some Gilded Leafing - my first time playing with this product.  Oh my goodness, it is fun!  I achieved the gilded look by stamping, in Versamark ink, over the flowers.  I added Heat & Stick powder, and melted it with my heat tool.  After pressing the sticky image into some Gilded Leafing flakes, I used a sponge to brush off the excess.

Here is a closer look at the Gilded Leafing on the flower petals, and the gold-embossed sentiment:

Isn't it pretty?  I am super-impressed that the Gilded Leafing doesn't flake off - it stays put beautifully, on any areas that are covered with the melted Heat & Stick Powder.

Listed below are all the products I used to make this card.  If you live in Australia, and would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing some variations of the acetate overlay/Fine Art Floral DSP combination.  I love that there are so many colours in the patterned paper, that can be chosen as the focal colour for each card.  It makes these products so versatile.
