Gracielle Design New Release & Giveaway

“It is time for a new blog hop featuring Graciellie Design’s Digital Stamp. You must have found your way here from Lisa's Blog. If not, then go to the Beginning of the Hop here !

Gracie’s stamps are so versatile and today I have the chance to share a card with you using one of her new sets called "Guide the Helm”.
This is what the Stamp Set looks like : isn't it just Beautiful !?!

The minute I saw this Stamp I knew I wanted to create a CAS card using this pretty Image of the Helm & flowers.

I printed out Several sheets of this image on a Glossy Cardstock using my Laser Printer . I used a couple of the print outs for fussy cutting the flowers and I used another one on my navy layer. I used a Navy Cardstock & scored a border all around leaving ¼” margins at regular intervals.

This gave me a clean & crisp background for my Image !

On the Main Printout I double Pop Dotted the Top-Most flower to give it maximum dimension & then using a single pop-dot I mounted the flower on the left for medium dimension. In this manner I had 3 flowers in 3 different dimensions. Take a closer look here...

My last step was to mount this Navy Layer on a 6”X6” White Card !!

I hope you liked this simple & easy to make card with lots of dimension !!

I have another project for you using another Awesome Digi Stamp by Gracielle Design’s April Release. It’s called “ The Journey” and It’s my Most favourite of this release !!
This is what it Looks like :

For this Art Journal Page,

I prepped it up using a thin layer of Gesso & then used my Design Memory Craft Gelatos to add color to the background. Once I was happy with my background I used my ‘Dreamweaver – Glossy White Embossing Paste & TCW – ‘Mini Chevron Arrows’ Stencil by Balzer’s Designs to give some stencilled effect. My next step was to randomly stamp using ‘Jet Black- Archival Ink” & the postal images using “Blue Fern Studios” Stamp set – Postal Textures and also to create the stamped border around the Page !!

I also stamped some leaves at the bottom of my page –“E5568” from Impression Obsession (Leaves) & outlined it with my Faber Castell PITT Brush Pen.

Next I used the “Bird Image & the Sentiment by Gracielle Design (printed on a glossy cardstock on my Laser Printer) & adhered it on the art journal page using Gel Medium in Matte by Ranger. Once dry, I used my Gelato - "Chocolate" to outline the adhered images & smudged it using my finger.

Lastly, I distress the edges using Gelatos & I was done !! It was so much fun creating this page using this pretty bird image...
