Usually when I've used this fan blade stamp by Dimension Fourth I've stamped it on to vellum and embossed it in white or silver. Today I decided to try stamping it on to patterned paper. I just had to dive into that fabulous HOTP paper pad again, that Max gave me in York. Each and every one of the papers in it are just so gorgeous and easy to use. I love it Max - if you are reading this - thank you so much!
I used one of the sheets with the patterned border to create the inside of the card and then stamped and embossed the fan blades on to the matching totally patterned sheet. I also stamped a fan blade on to white card to make a template to use to cut the shape of the fan on the front of the card. Then I cut out each stamped blade and attached them to the front.
In the photo above you can see the shaped front of the card and below shows the card closed up.
I coloured clear gemstones black using a black Sakura Permapaque pen. I actually tried a black Promarker first, but that gave more of a sapphire type of black stone. The sentiment is from a clear sheet of sentiments by Hero Arts.
