Wednesday Card of the Day

Happy Wednesday dear friends!
Today's card for the Enjoy Michael Strong Stamps Groups.io
features Michael Strong's Cloisonné Flower and Cloisonné Leaves.

I started with a wrinkle free distress scrap from my stash.
 Harlequins were cut from it using a Sizzix Tim Holtz Thinlits set
called Mixed Media #1.

Mike's flower and leaves were stamped with distress oxide abandoned coral and pistachio
then fussy cut.

The layers were attached to a pink card base with dimensional foam.

Thanks so much for visiting!

Monday Card of the Day

This week I am card captain at the Enjoy Michael Strong Stamps Group

 which moved to a new home at Groups.io.

Today's card features Michael Strong's Mini Dragonfly, wrinkle distress technique
and a piece of muslin fabric.

I used distress oxide inkpads for the background layer.

When the paper was dry, I sponged ink onto waste canvas as a stencil.

 The bottom of the card shows a strip of muslin fabric
dipped into the puddle of distress oxide inks.
Fastened it to the card with the Tim Holtz mini stapler.

Stamped and fussy cut Michael Strong's mini dragonfly and attached it with dimensional foam.

The curvy banner is from a Hero Arts Stamp & Cuts set.

Inks used:
distress oxide: abandoned coral, picked raspberry, twisted  citron
Versafine black onyx.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
