I haven't ended up playing along with the Tuesday Trigger lately, but that lacy collar...it made me think of this medallion stamp from Stampendous again. You ever get in a rut of sorts with stamps? Not so much that everything looks the same, but that you're reaching for the same supplies over & over? No?
*crickets chirping*
OK then, here's my card:
Supplies: Stampendous medallion stamp, and clear detail EP; Shabby Shutters distress ink; Versamark; Tonic edge distresser; sheer green ribbon; pewter brad from stash
To emboss in green, I inked up the stamp first with Versamark, then again with Shabby Shutters; then I used clear detail powder. The fun flowery doo-dad was made by cutting circles from wide sheer ribbon & heating them with my heat gun. I made sure to fray some of the edges before heating to keep the threads fluffed up. There are 7 layers altogether. After heating, I used my paper piercer & mousepad to poke a hole in the centre of each one for the brad to fit through. After distressing the edges of the panel, I inked it directly with the Shabby Shutters pad, and then mounted the panel to the base with foam tape.
Here's the Tuesday Trigger picture:
The deadline for this Trigger is tonight, so chop chop! One more post coming up :)

so pretty- I have that stamp and have never inked it I don't think. Maybe I will just do that right now!
ReplyDeleteJessi, this is gorgeous! Love the embossed medallion, and that flower is divine!
ReplyDeleteLovely embossing and your center embellishment is fantastic! I tend to use the stamps and papers near and around my desk. Nothing wrong with that... it's usually my favorites. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, love the flower.

Pretty design! Love the flower you created for the center. I can see why you keep reaching for that stamp. It's a beauty!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I too love the flower in the center!
ReplyDeletebrilliant stamp for a central design. so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh this is lovely Jessi. So victorian. And that mossy green is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Jessi! I really like your take on the challenge!
ReplyDeleteThis is a real stunner, Jessi!! Love the distressed edges and the awesome medallion you created. So does heating the sheer ribbon shrink it or what? I love the fluffiness of it!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous!! Oh I am a sucker for white and green. I did a bunch of Christmas cards last year in white and green, and in my ever so important opinion, they were awesome!! I hope you are having a happy Monday.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and elegant!! I sometimes get in a rut, and when i do i clean my place up! Put away stamps and supplies that i've been 'wanting' to use! LOL
