Happy New Year to you all, I hope it was a good one. Ours was very quiet, my husband was poorly and in bed so I spent the evening watching Robbie Williams then the fireworks then a bit of Hootenanny, but good anyway.
I thought I'd carry on with the little wooden embellishments this month but this time using the Fence and Lanterns.
I started with my usual 7" x 7" white card blank and matted it with some Silver Pearlised Card then cut a smaller piece of White Pearlised Card that I would use as my topper.
I took the small fence and stippled it directly with Silver Starlights then once it was dry I randomly dabbed on some White Gold Starlights, then done the same to one of the lanterns.
For the image I used the Stampendous Field Of Daisy's but I think that the Field of Poppies would work just as well. I masked off about a third of the stamp so that it would fit inside the fence which I was using as a planter. I then stamped the image to one side of the card.
Then started to fill in the petals using a very small amount of Rusty Patina - Blanc mixed with an equal amount of Pearl Starlights, then dabbed the petals with the mix using a very fine detail paint brush. I coloured in the centres just with a bright yellow colouring pencil and the bees using a small mixture of Rusty Patina and White Gold Starlights. I then used a fine line black pen to go around the petals to make them stand out more.

Once it was all dry I masked the image, created a mound with a post it note then distressed with Mowed Lawn, then distressed the sky using Tumbled Glass ( I didn't notice the black marks until I took the photo, and rubbed them out later)
I then placed a backing to the planter with a little piece of white card so I could 3D it. Then stuck the lantern in place on the mound added a little sentiment and the card was done.
Very quick and easy again for you.
Thank you for dropping by the blog today, look forward to next Friday
Lovely card Jan xx
