My Project this

week is:-

Grow Old With Me - 
4 Square Digi Stamp

from Bugaboo

(One of our sponsors)

To begin with I used a Large 20cm Square White Card

(stash)

which I Cut out the Center of it,

and backed it with Clear Acetate

(stash).

Next I printed the Image out

  twice on White DC Paper

And coloured them in using my Promarker Pens

Primrose

Soft Lime

Yellow

Sunflower  

Meadow Green

Leaf Green

Grass

Emerald

Lush Green

Pine

Lipstick Red

Red

Ruby

Poppy

Berry Red

Raw Sienna

Terracotta

Cool Grey 1

Cool Grey 2

Cool Grey 3

Black

I then cut out the 2 Squares with the Flowers 

on from 1 of the Images.

And rounded the Corners with 10mm Corner Punch

(X-Cut)

I cut around the edge of the Image with a 1.5cm Border,

Then I used a Flower Patch Corner Punch 

(Martha Stewart)

and along the Edges I used Daisy Lace Edge Border Punch

(Martha Stewart).

I then covered them in Iridescent Glitter Glue

(Glitz It)

to make them Sparkle

Along the Lines in the Image I covered them with

Holographic Silver Strip Peel-Offs

(stash)

For each of the Squares I added something different

For the 1st one I added Iridescent Yellow Glitter

(Glitter Magic)

to the Center of the Daisy.

and around the Edge I used Tinsel Silver Embossing Powder

(WOW)

For the Second Flower Square I again used 

the Tinsel Silver Embossing Powder

around the edges.

And in the center of the Poppy I used 

Holographic Black Glitter

(Glitter Magic).

For the 2 Squares with Writing I added

Holographic Black Glitter to them.

And for the one with the Bubbles on I added 

Holographic Silver to them

(Glitter Magic)

Once I had done this I backed it on to a 

Sheet of Grey Marbled Parchment Paper

(gifted to me)

and I then left it as a 'loose page'

in the Card.

Along the Left Edge I added a 1cm White Holographic Ribbon

(Boyes Haberdashery)

using the same Ribbon I Handmade a Bow

which I finished off with a Red Square Gem Brad

(stash).

To finish off I added 
2 x 1omm Crystal Dotted Rhinestones

and 4 x 5mm Red Dotted Rhinestones

(stash)

to the Corners.
