Make It Monday #81: Clay Embellishments With Dies & Stamps

I actually had an opportunity to catch a little play time for myself, so I'm submitting for the Papertrey Ink Make It Monday fun!  You can find all the details here

Martha Stewart's Crafters Clay is great because you don't have to bake it at all!!  It is completely dried and ready to use within 12 to 24 hours and it is extremely light weight when dried.  So when I made the daisy on this card, it didn't add much weight, just bulk.  This is a card that would need a bubble pack envelope to mail it. 



 When I was kneading the clay for the center, I used white clay and added in yellow Stampin' Up! glitter to it.  I like that the glitter won't rub off because it's embedded into the clay, not just laying on top of it.


 The last picture is of one of the heat embossed daisies I stamped in Versamark ink and used detailed clear embossing powder.  I love the look of the clear embossing on just about any card I've ever seen!  And you also can see my little quilled leaf on the left side too!


Thanks for stopping by!!  See you next time!
