elegant diamond

Just Us Girls #700!!! – Color Week

When I saw this diamond stamp (from Spellbinders) on a tutorial, I knew I just had to have it and as a sale came up on Scrapbook.com I bought a bunch of things with this being one. I wanted something simple but different for the challenge at JUG’s and it seemed the perfect time to ink it up. The ink used was Distress Oxide Tea dye which was the closest I could get to a tan colour, then I added tumbled glass and the flowers were done with Spiced Marmalade and a Prisma pencil. The flower stamp and leaves are from 2 different Altenew sets that are also new purchases.

While the ink was still wet on the lines I added some clear heat embossing and then I watercoloured the diamond centre. I fussy cut the flowers but the leaves had their own die which made it easy. Popped up the sentiment so the rest could be added slightly behind. Added some sparkle with a Sakura gelly roll pen to the sentiment and the flowers. The Kraft card base is from GKD.

I quite like how this one turned out. Thanks for stopping by, it is appreciated.

  8. I have a die similar to the diamond stamp but your lines are finer and I love them, Johanna. Your flowers are so dainty they needed the finer lines and the watercolor background shows them off beautifully. Thanks for celebrating our birthday with us at Just Us Girls.
