Floral Eclipse

Hi all.  Another card highlighting the eclipse technique, and for this I used a Sheena Douglas stamp from a set in her Floral Fantasy range which featured Hibiscus and this Wild Rose stamp which is another that I have never got around to using.


I used a set of Koh-I-Noor paints which I got when we were on holiday in Anglesey several years ago and I thought it would be a change to use them.  They are cleverly arranged in four round layers which screw together so very easy to carry as a travel set.


I decided to cut the eclipse in circles and using two from a large set I have, I cut one large as the central one and then cut the smaller one on each side taking them partially into the space where the large one was cut.  I then cut one large and two smaller from white card to place underneath to build it up using hole circles for the two side ones and then one beneath the central larger circle means that one has slightly more dimension.

I finished the card with the sentiment stamped using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink and heat embossed using WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder.

Before I go I would like to say many thanks to Carol and Donna for becoming followers of my blog and I'm sure they would love you to visit them to see all the lovely work they've been doing.
