The March Club Kits from Spellbinders are now available! The clubs will remain open until March 27.
My first card features the Small dies of the month: Wise Owl, the Embossing Folder: Checkered Scallops, one of the Stencils: Dynamic Backgrounds, and a glimmered sentiment from Sketched Lines, the Glimmer Kit for this month.
For the background, I embossed with the new folder of the month, Checkered Scallops. I discovered that 2 of the 5 stencils in the Dynamic Backgrounds stencil kit matches it perfectly, so I used just 1 of them with an ink slightly darker than my pale aqua cardstock.
Here's another of the stencils; it looks to me like brushstrokes going horizontally down the length of the panel, but here I only brushed in 4 of them, roughly in the center of my panel, in shades of purples, then added an arrangement of flowers from this month's Stitching kit: Read & Sip.
I've always loved brushstrokes, so I know this particular stencil will get lots of use from me!
Last for today, I have 2 cards that using the Glimmer Plates of the Month. This first one combines them with the bonus dies that you receive when you order the
Deluxe Caboodle.
Starting with an A2 panel of navy cardstock, I positioned the Sketched Lines glimmer plate first vertically, then horizontally and foiled with Cobalt Blue foil. That panel was trimmed down with a postage edge die, then placed onto a red card front. Then I constructed the Fairy Tale castle, foiled my sentiment, and centered them onto my card, adding some stars (also from the bonus dies).
And finally, I used the Glimmer Sketch Lines with the flowers from the Stitching Kit.
I foiled the sketched lines with Cobalt Blue glimmer foil onto a panel of bright blue cardstock, then added it at an angle to a pale blue card base. Then I arranged my sentiment and flowers. Cut from white, they make me think of strawberry blossoms!
