I had a lot of fun making it as a gift for my Niece it is her first wedding anniversary soon and the colours will go nicely with her kitchen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The squares are 2 inches finished with stitch in the ditch quilting. The instructions are available from a free Craftsy class called "Piece,Patch and Quilt:Basic Quiltmaking Skills" by Gail Kessler (www.craftsy.com).</span><br />

I went a bit to town given it is interactive and a shaker card too. I used the Tim Holtz stamps which were really good as you could circle the date on the ticket which was of course his birthday. This is my first attempt at either an interactive or a shaker card. I have a fair few projects on the go so haven't been making many cards - I am working on a crochet blanket that needs 195 pieces so that has been taking most of my craft time. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Stix2 - White Beads</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
Method:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
1. Stamp the train onto watercolour paper using the versafine black ink and allow to dry before colouring using water pens with the distress inks (pine needles for the engine, fired brick for the cab and vintage photo for the track) when dry add the brass effects using the Sakura stardust pen</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
2. Stamp two sets of the track onto white cardstock using the versafine and allow to dry, then colour using water pens and the vintage photo, use the sakura stardust silver pen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
3. On the cream card stock print 2 tickets and circle the date of your choice.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
4. Print the background of your choice (I chose an old map from 1855) TWICE</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
5. Matt the black Cardstock on to the card blank and then matt one of the backgrounds onto the black cardstock.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
6. Using the same circle die cut a circle out of fun foam (you want the frame rather than the circle), trim the edges so that none pokes outside the edge of your background.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
7. Using a circle die cut, cut a circle in the top right - align the cut background and the one on the card and draw around the circle - place the foam frame around this circle on the background on the card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
8. Stick acetate to the back of the background with the circle cut from it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
9. On the circle cut background layout your track which you have fussy cut and work out where to put the cut into the card so that the train will move along the track, make the cut smaller than the diameter of a 5 pence piece. Trace the cut onto the background on the card.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
10. Place a 5 pence piece on the background on the card where the pencil marks from the cut are - create a foma frame to hold the 5 pence piece in the "track" - remember the frame will be bigger than the pencil cut as it has to fit the 5 pence - the top piece is smaller to hold the 5p in place.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
11. Place fun foam at the corners.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
12. Put the stamped tickets and some sprinkles into the circle foam frame on the card and put the 5 pence piece in it's track.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
13. Overlay and match the top background gluing it in place</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
14. With a decoupage foam pad, stick this on top of the 5 pence piece and then adhere the train to the 5 decoupage pad.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1) Start by printing the Peacock parade peacock onto some scrap card to make a template for the centre piece. I made mine "egg" shaped</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2) Turn the template over and draw round it in pencil cutting it out of watercolour paper. I flipped it over so that the pecil marks would be on the back</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3) Stamp the peacock on your watercolour egg shaped paper using versamark and then sprinkle with the blue glitz embossing powder. Shake off excess blowing where necessary and then cure with a heat tool. When set place in a heavy book to flatten it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4) Cut 65 strips of 3 inch quilling paper and quill into 8mm coiled circles, use a quilling board to help with the sizing and glue - leave these to dry.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5) Take the fan piece from peacock fans and load up with versamark stamp this onto the vellum and cover in blue glitz, using the heat tool to cure. Remember not to scorch the vellum, repeat until you have 5 blue pieces.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6) Load up the "feather" from tangled peacock and stamp this onto vellum using versamark. Sprinkle with purple glitz and cure with heat tool. Do this until you have 10 pieces of the purple feathers</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">7) Take the small leaf shaped feather from the peacock parade set and stamp this in vrsamark 6 times onto vellum, sprinkling green glitz embossing powder. Cure the powder with the heat tool.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">8) Fussy cut out all the blue, purple and green pieces from the vellum paper and slightly curl the purple ones so that they have some dimension. I gentle squeezed them in half.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">9) Retrieve the egg shaped watercolour stamped paper from the heavy book and then blot some of the mowed lawn ink onto the back of an acrylic block, pick up the ink from the acrylic block onto the nib of the water pen and colour and shade the peacock as per the image.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">10) Add the grape jelly purple colour in the same way as the mowed lawn colouring the segments as in the image</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">11) Clean the acrylic block and blot some angel pink onto it, load your stencil brush with the pink, practice swirling on some scrap paper and then move the swirling so that there is a border of light pink around the peacock which is heavier towards to the edge.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">12) Run the edge of the egg shape over the distress ink picked raspberry (think of the edge of the card as a knife so it is at right angles to the ink pads) and lightly coat the very edge</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">13) Let the peacock dry and then flatten again using heavy books</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">14) Take the quiled circles and using your fingers shape them into tear drops. If you use the "join" where you stuck the paper as the point of the teardrop then it gives the best results.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">18) Make the back of the card, using the front as a template - you can skip the blue pieces if you like - it is an "igloo" shape. Stick the back onto the folded flap you created in step 17.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The lovely weather has had me thinking of the British seaside and the sand and beach huts as well as fish and chips by the sea. The beach huts and bright colours make me think of summer, so I will also be submitting this to the WOW embossing challenge for June which has the brief of "Summer".</span></div>

<span style="line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. Stamp the beach huts on to the white cardstock, using the blue embossing powder shake this over the first hut and then using the yellow shake this over the last beach hut (use different scrap paper to capture the excess so you don't contaminate your colours) and use the heat tool to cure</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. Stamp the huts again, this time using the red powder to cover the middle hut, and heat emboss using the tool.</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. Cut three pieces of sandpaper that measure 5.5cm by 6.5cm, cut out the beach huts and then adhere them to the sandpaper</span></span></div>

Cut 3 piece of card stock measure 7cm x 6cm, dab versamark around the edges directly from the ink pad, add blue powder to one, red to the next and yellow to the last one. This creates the backgrounds. Use the heat tool to cure the powder.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This card was inspired by the Chocolate Baroque Challenge 11, I wanted to make something that was reminiscent of the stained glass windows in cathedrals but that also went beyond the card, so the leaves of the long roses and the ribbon roses are "off the edge". The bottoms ones are folded to make "feet".</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1) Load up the stonehenge stamp with versafine Black Onyx and stamp onto the watercolour card, allow to dry</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2) Take the celtic knot and load the stamp with the aged mahogany - stamp 3 times (you might want to do a few spares)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3) Next matt some balck card onto the white card base covering it, then matt the chocolate coloured card on top of this - I left 5mm either side. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4) Allowing for a 5mm indent from the mated chocolate card stock, cut a rectangular piece of watercolour card</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5) Using the landscape aquatint inks create a back ground. At the bottom I used the dar brown and the honey brown and then overlaid the green on to this.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6) The sky was done using a combination of the two blues and the grey, the clouds use a "faux bleach" technique. Set aside and allow to dry</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">7) Returning to the stonehenge print, load up a water pen brush with gray flannel and then use this to colour in the henge, set aside and wait for it to dry.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">8) Clean the nib of the water pen brush and load it with bamboo shoots (stamp the ink pad onto an acrylic stamp board and pick the ink up from there). Colour in the white parts of the celtic knot with the bamboo laves green.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">9) Carefully cut out the henge and the celtic knots.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">10) Using PVA glue seal the rope on a bobbin at both ends and apply to the card (mine is roughly 4cm in from the left) and then attach the knots</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Instructions:</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1) Get the Sweet Paris 6x6 paper and cut a strip that is 5cm x 13cm from the rose and Eiffel tower paper, then cut a strip that is 9cm by 13cm from the green fleur de lys paper. Finally from the rose and swirl striped paper cut one strip that has two swirls either side of the roses. Place the green paper so that it overlaps 1cm of the paper with the Eiffel tower and roses (the width should be 13cm - 4cms of roses and 9cms of green fleur de lys) put the strip over the join.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2) Cut a piece of ivory card that measures 2 inches x 4 inches and load up the Eiffel tower stamp from the do craft sweet Paris cling stamp set with Memento tuxedo black and stamp onto the card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3) Get your plain vellum and using the Eiffel tower stamp load it up with versamark and stamp it on to the vellum, repeat this again so that you have two Eiffel towers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4) Sprinkle Ebony wow embossing powder over the versamark ink and then remove the excess and put back in the jar. Using the heat tool emboss the powder, remember vellum can catch with the heat so hold the tool further away and move it faster over your work</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5) Once the embossing powder has cured use a good pair of craft scissors to cut them out, fold them both in two with the embossing on the inside - take time as the fold needs to be accurate.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6) stick the two halves together using adhesive and then line them up on the ink stamped copy of the tower. Voila a 3D eiffel tower. Using the pink and ivory striped paper create a border around the tower on the ivory paper.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">7) Cut a further piece of cream card that is 2 inches by 2.5 inches, using the chocolate baroque stamp with the sentiment "Paris in Spring" load it with versamark and stamp onto the card. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">8) Using the WOW Ebony embossing powder apply to the ink, shake off the excess and using the heat tool emboss it. Take the sentiment and mount it onto the pink paper that has a white pattern of flower swags.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">9) Build up the card using a 14cm x14cm background from the sweet Paris paper pack, I choose the pale pink with the white swirly writing, then add the background you made in step 1, and then place to the two pieces of ivory card so that the sentiment slightly overlaps onto the card that has the Eiffel tower.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Instructions:</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. Using the memento Tuxedo black ink, ink up the chocolate Baroque AYOS April stamp (large) and print onto white card.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. Using Spectrum Noir Marker (</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">BT5, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">IB3, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">PL4) colour in the blank butterflies on the paper you have just stamped and allow to dry</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. Using the AYOS April Butterfly stamp (cleaned) load it with versamark ink and stamp onto another sheet of white card. Cover in Wow ebony embossing powder, shake off excess and then heat with a tool to a glossy finish.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. Reload the AYOS April stamp with versamark ink and stamp onto the vellum, apply the WOW Ebony super fine embossing powder and heat carefully to set. (vellum can burn easily so hold the heating tool further away and move it quickly over the work)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. Take the first stamped piece of paper with the Blue, Indigo and Violet butterflies, load up the Kaisercraft Script stamp with versamark and stamp over the coloured butterflies (if necessary use pieces of scrap paper as masks). Apply WOW bright white embossing powder, remove excess and apply heat to fix the powder.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6. Take the ebony embossed white card and cut out the spaces of the blank butterflies, this will allow the blue, indigo and violet butterflies to show through on the final card and creates dimension. Use a craft knife to do this.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">7. Having cut out the plain butterflies colour in the background using LG5 and the patterened butterflies blending DR1, OR2 and CT4 (spectrum noir alcohol markers)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">8. Repeat the blending of </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">DR1, OR2 and CT4 on the WOW ebony embossed vellum and cut the butterflies out using scissors or craft knife.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">9. Starting with the Blue indigo and violet butterflies as the lowest layer build the card up, with the vellum butterflies going on last. Bend the wings to create a 3D effect.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">10. As an option you can use the spectrum noir alcohol markers to custom colour clear rhinestones and add them to the butterfly body, the effect is shown in the photograph above. I used the </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">DR1, OR2 and CT4 pens to colour the rhinestones. I used PVA glue to attach the rhinestones to the card.</span></div>
