My topper today is a variation of the one below … made them both at the same time and used the same stamp which came from a new company I have found. They have some gorgeous stamps which you can find here.

This time round I stamped and embossed the image with gold embossing powder and again it stamped beautifully. Will be buying more from this company as the quality of the stamp is very good, postage and packing is very reasonable … but … the backing of the stamp is a bit fiddly, I was lucky enough to have a spare acrylic block which I attached the stamp to … the company does send you instructions on how to use your stamp.

The backing is the same as the previous topper a piece of card which I painted emulsion onto then added crackle glaze before putting through an embossing folder. The flower middles are filled with micro beads and also the edges of the ladies dresses. Used the same cotton cord to make another frayed bow but coloured with DI inks first.

You will be pleased to know that is the last of my crackled cardstock in these colours but I have more in other colours that I experimented with whilst in the UK … watch this space!!!!
