{Spotlight Project} Cornelia Puts the Spotlight on Bold Florals


Hi, Cornelia here today playing with the Bold Florals stencil, embossing paste and microbeads. Here is my card:



I masked off one of the blossoms with washi tape


and sponged with distress inks



Next, I smeared clear drying embossing paste over it.


I lifted the stencil off - got a little smudge on there - I covered it up later....


I sprinkled microbeads on it. You can see it better in the close-up.



I added some stamped leaves from the set VIGNETTE: Eclectic Florals


I heat embossed the sentiment onto 3 different colored pieces of card stock, sewed them on, and added little pearls to the center of the blossom.


Hope you liked this and perhaps will give it a try - those microbeads look amazing in real life!


Stamps Cornelia used in today's project:

    Wow, Cornelia...your bloom has incredible impact with the colours and the beads! Stunning! Do the beads just adhere on their own to the embossing paste? You've definitely got me intrigued...
