Here is the card that I created for Dan
This card started out because I fell in love with the new Stamperia soft moulds. Oh my, these are wonderful! The price is also amazing!
I first tried using them with Prima Soft Gel, but I wasn't entirely happy with it.
Here you can see the Prima gel on the left and Stamperia cream, paste on the right. I thought the difference was really clear.
I stamped around a card blank using a PaperArsty Seth Apter mini stamp and Archival ink.
The mould once fully dry was given a coat of PaperArtsy chalk paint - I think this gave a bit more 'grip' to the Infusions. I then added PaperArtsy Infusions across parts of the mould and spritzed water. I kept patting dry in between and then adding more and repeating until I was happy.
I left this to dry completely but I think could have carefully dried this with a heat gun.
To finish, I added a Tim Holtz paper doll and quote.
I was so pleased with how this turned out for a very simple card.
Thanks for joining me today.
Happy crafting!
Miriam
I had to come over and check this up close... I recognised the Stamperia soft mould (have one, want more and I too fell in love!). I made the mistake of putting my mould in a box to dry and the Stamperia paste took 3 days to dry...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Miriam!

ReplyDeleteYou really don't look old enough to have been married for 18 years Miriam! What a gorgeous card, I love the texture created by the beautiful Stamperia soft mould (I found I got the best result with the paste too). Perfect paper doll too. Belated anniversary wishes to you both! Hugs, Anne xx
