Cut a 3″ square of Whisper White card stock on the diagonal to get two triangles.

Using a Stamp-a-ma-jig for placement, stamped the Tree from the Thoughts & Prayers Set using Metallic Gold ink.

Heat embossed the image using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

dsc02674.JPG

Using the left over triangle, masked the middle of the triangle with the tree on it.

Sponged Sahara Sand ink on the edges holding the triangle mask in place.

dsc02676.JPG

Removed the mask and used two post it notes to mask the Sahara Sand ink I just put on the edges.  Sponged Tempting Turquoise ink in the unmasked area.

Sponged Brilliant Blue ink at the top of the unmasked area.

Removed the masks and wiped the ink off of the embossed image with a cotton rage.

Used the Circles #2 Die Cut and my Big Shot Machine to cut the largest circle out of Apricot Appeal card stock.

Using the Stamp-a-ma-jig for placement, stamped the medallion from the Boho Backgrounds stamp set in the middle of the circle using Pumpkin Pie ink.

Sponged Pumpkin Pie ink on the edges.

Sponged Summer Sun ink in the middle of the circle to brighten things up.

Using a Ruler drew a line from the points on the medallion to the edge using a Pumpkin Pie marker.

Sponged  a bit of Elegant Eggplant ink on.

Sponged Tempting Turquoise ink on a 5″ square piece of Whisper White card stock.

Adhered the circle and triangle to the panel and sponged Elegant Eggplant ink around the outside of the panel, not covering all of the Tempting Turquoise ink.  I awanted the middle images to have a glowing effect.

Sponged Basic Black ink around the outside edges.

dsc02696.JPG

Stamped The Flower Flourish from the Stampin’ Up! Vintage Vogue set (love this image) using metallic Gold ink.

Using a Metallic Gold Paint Marker, edged the panel.

Added a Brilliant Blue Panel and here is the finished card measuring 5.5″ Square.

    Gorgeous! Love how you incorporated two of my favorite stamps into the card – the Flower Flourish from Vintage Vogue and the tree from Thoughts & Prayers. Love the color combinations too.

  2. Definitely love it! Gorgeous colours. The hallmark of your projects, I think is the way your use of colour and shading makes them seem to glow with light, and this one is a perfect example.

    I give it two thumbs up! It’s funky but almost gives it a bit of an Asian feeling to it. Now wonder I love your tutorials, you always come up with something different!

  4. Well, I’m one who actually LOVES it!!! For some reason, when I first saw it, “The Dawning of the Age of Aquarius” popped into my head! Maybe it’s my age!! hehe. Anyway, I think it’s beautiful!

    This one goes beyond words. Sorry, I ment to provide the following for Lucas:

    When my poor “baby” stressed out when I had to go on a trip, I made a tape of my everday conversations at home. My husband would play them for him. I also left an old pair of my loungies (unwashed) and put on his pillow (bed)…that way he could always have my familar smell me (that sounds awful). According to my husband – it worked. Give him a big hug and kiss for assurance and tell him it will be alright.

    Michelle! This is breathtaking! It reminded me of something mystical, Ethereal. I was picturing superman, some kind of mystical hidden power. Or very Astrological, the symbols. I loved it, and had to make one for myself (but yours is still way better, mine never come out the same). Your cards amaze me time and time again!
