Ciao Bella Take Your Time Card

 Welcome back and Nancy, here. With so many colorful flowers, butterflies and dragonflies everywhere,  I was inspired to create a shabby chic card using the gorgeous Ciao Bella Microscomos paper with the Stamperia Take Your Time  stencil.  

Supplies:  Purple and white cardstock, Ciao Bella Microscomos paper, Stamperia Take Your Time Stencil and Stamperia Gold Paste,  Wild Orchid Craft flowers and flower stamin, , Handmade cream seam binding bow, NUVO White Blizzard glitter paste and a scallop doily.

Adhesive:  Hot glue gun and Beacon 3-n-1 Advance Glue

Instructions:  Begin with a 12" x 14" panel of heavy white cardstock. Score it in half at 6″ to make a fold card base.  I have heavy weight 36" poster board when I need heavy white cardstock for my card base to avoid warping especially with metal embellishments.

I cut out the doily and the clocks, snail and butterfly from the Ciao Bella Microcosmos paper and adhered to the doily.  I used a hot glue gun to adhere the flowers, flower stamen and die cut leaves to the clock.  I poked a hole to the center of the clock and inserted a rhinestone brad with clock hands. I handmade the cream seam binding ribbon bow and added water to the bow.  I used my hands to crumble the bow for a vintage appearance before using the hot glue gun to adhere the bow next to the flowers.   I glued the doily on my 5 3/4" x 6 3/4" patterned Ciao Bella Microcosmos paper.  

I used a palette knife with Stamperia gold paste to stencil Take Your Time to the paper and let dry.  I glued the snail from the Ciao Bella Microcosmos paper pad next to the sentiment.  I used the Stamperia Take Your Time stencil with the palette knife using Nuvo White Blizzard paste to stencil some of the texture to the background for a slight touch that appears to look like morning dew. I cut out  purple and white mats and adhere behind the front cardstock to the 6" x 7" card base. 

So get crafting and have a fabulous  day and thanks for visiting.
