Shabby Chic Frame Card

This project uses the stamped

shabby chic frame and has been

coloured in using the Tim Holtz

distress markers and a water pen

for a soft feel to the piece. The

frame is built up on a layer of gold

labels four die & grand labels four

die shapes.

The project is complete with some

bitty blossom felt flowers set on a

crushed silky aqua ribbon.

Select the products needed for the project. Here Tim Holtz Distress Markers: Peeled Paint, Forest Moss, Shabby Shutters, Tattered Rose, Tumbled Glass & Stormy Sky are used. The shabby chic Umount stamp, the gold labels & grand labels four dies are also needed. Check out the full project list of items needed to complete this card.

Now choose if you want to colour the image using the distress markers directly onto the card or by scribbling the marker onto an acrylic block & picking the ink with a water pen. Here a small area of the frame has the pen used directly on the image & then it will be blended in with the water pen.

So after the tumbled glass ink has been applied to

the frame add a squiggle of ink to the acrylic block

with a white piece of card placed underneath,

alternatively use a white ceramic plate as the colour

will show up easily. Now pick up the ink with the

water pen & start to blend in the colours.

Mount the shabby chic frame stamp onto some Umount

Repositional cushion. Place the prepared stamp onto an

acrylic block before inking it up with the black archival

ink pad. Stamp the image 3 or 4 times on a piece of

coconut card. Make sure one of the images has some

white card left all around the image & heat set the ink.

After the frame & flower has been coloured in with

the different shades of the blue distress markers, then

colour in a 2nd & 3rd rose on the other stamped images

using the tattered rose pen. Again use the darker

colour in the areas that would normally be shaded.

Often these are the shaded areas of a stamped image.

Now pick up some ink with the water pen &

blend the tattered rose ink on the blank

areas of the stamp. Don`t worry about

being too fussy if the ink goes over the rose

or leaf areas as they will be cut off.

Set the image & rose buds a side to dry or heat set

using a heat tool. When dry cut out the rose flower

head and any leaves that you have coloured in and

they well be used to decoupage the image. Place the

largest gold labels four die over the coloured shabby

chic frame & secure in place using some low tack tape.

Take the piece of decorative paper where

the grand smallest label has been cut out

of the middle & cut down one side edge to

make the card 7¾” wide x 8”. To replace

the distress feel to the paper use some

dried marigold ink on a piece of cut`n`dry

foam to finish off the edges.

Also tape a grand labels four die which is the next

size up from the gold labels die on the middle of a

piece of the polka dot Teresa Collins paper. Cut

both pieces through the Grand Calibur machine.

Now cut the next size up grand die shape using a

light blue card stock.

Once the pieces have been cut then emboss

the shapes using the die cutting machine

embossing sandwich, which in the Grand

Calibur machine will be the base plate, then

the dies & card followed by the tan mat &

then the pink embossing plate.

Shabby Chic Frame Card

Mount the backing paper onto a piece of

light blue card & trim leaving a small border

around the edge. Ink the decorative stamp

from the peaceful nights stamp plate using

the dried marigold distress ink & stamp at

random over the paper.

Fold a piece of felt in half & cut out using the largest of the bitty blossoms flowers. The felt will need to be the wool mix felt to enable the felt to be cut using a die cutting machine. This can be done in 2 runs if you want to cut as singles.

Make the 2nd

felt flower up & set

aside to dry. Prepare a crushed silk

bow & add a small pearl to the

centres of the felt flowers. Don`t

glue the felt in place yet.

Cut & emboss 3 leaf sprigs using the

open leaf die set. Colour the leaves

using the peeled paint distress ink on

a piece of cut`n`dry foam.

Distress & continue to stamp the largest blue labels

four die shape in the same dried marigold ink. Add

the backing paper panel to a base card made up by

joining 2 sheets of teal card together. Build each

layer using foam tape for added dimension.

Start to roll the end of the blossom up

rolling the felt onto the glue & twisting

the felt as it comes up. Working slowly

& upwards will allow the glued edges

to stay away from each other.

Add a thin line of dries clear

Cosmic Shimmer glue.

When using felt you don`t

want to catch the glue on

the felt as it will show up.

Add a small amount of ultra thick embossing crystals

onto a folded piece of copy paper. Select a glass vial

& remove the cork stopper from the bottle.

Tip the paper up & add the UTEE into the vial

to give the impression they are rose seeds.

Mustard seeds would also work well too.

Take the inked leaves & add them to the

knot of the crushed silky ribbon using either

the Cosmic Shimmer glue or 3D glue. Add

the felt flower over the top of the leaves.

Take some self adhesive pearl swirls & add to the top

corner of the card to embellish the project. Stamp the

`Blessing to have a Friend` on a piece of card and tear &

distress the edges before adding to the side of the card.

Stamp & colour in a 2nd frame & rose panel. Cut around the

stamped area cutting out the white inner areas too. Curve the piece

before adding to base panel using 3D glue. Add the single rose

heads on the top layer. This will add a lovely dimension to the card.

Add the small vial to the

corner of the card to

complete the project off.

Pulling out areas in a stamp can so

often bring dimension to a project

& coupled with the die shapes will

give a lovely feel to the finished

project ~ Happy Crafting
