Couture embossing folder - Extra Loren
Spellbinders Adorning Squares
Martha Stewart Border Punch
Tonic flower punch
Black gems

  1. I started by colouring my digi stamp in using the above listed copic pens.
  2. I then decided on an 8x8 card and decided to stick with monochrome which makes the image stand out - I hope.
  3. I matted some black card followed by a piece of white pearlescent which I punched along the edges.
  4. Another piece of black card followed by another piece of white pearlescent card which I embossed.
  5. I diecut my image and made a faux mat in black.
  6. I then stamped my sentiment which was a stamp I have had in my stamp stash for a few years and I think was from Kanban, again die cut and made a faux mat.  My image was stamped in black versafine and clear embossed.
  7. I finished by punching out my flowers using a tonic geared punch and topped with some black gems - yes I know - gems, not something I use very often as I am a gem scrooge - hee hee.
