Spellbinders Pick of the Week - Black & White

Hi Bloggers.

Here's a card that I'm hoping to demo on one of the shows today.


The spotty background has been created by inking through the Small Polka Dots Mask with Black Soot Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the image from the Creative Expressions Gala Event Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut the image out using the new Spellbinders Labels Twenty-Eight. This is such a useful labels shape. I think it's the die set that I've used the most when making the samples for the shows. I inked through the die with Black Soot using Cut n Dry Foam.



The gorgeous mask has been cut using the new Spellbinders Venetian Accents die set. The flower is the new Spiral Blossom Four. The 'leaves' are from the new Venetian Motifs die set. I do like it when there are dies that can be used as leaves.


The borders around the edges of the main section have been cut using the Venetian Accents die set. There are 'holding hands' pieces which can be used to hold onto the main panel. The little diamonds are from the waste on the borders. I finished the card by adding some Black Glass Glintz.


Lovely dies, aren't they?

Thanks for stopping by. See you at 12.

Julia.

  24. Saw a bit of this being demoed but have recorded ALL the shows so will get a better look when I watch them back. Congratulations, Julia,you were brill but with so much in the show they didn't give you enough time. I've ordered the big one as couldn't resist the value.Think this looks fanatastic and will have to have go but I'm no good at stamping so will use a ready made topper (is that cheating?). Can wait for it all to come so I can have a good play. Keep your chin up. Love Teresa(Nottingham)

  27. Love the Venitian dies and bought them before they went out of stock today, so can't wait for them to come to have a play. This card is just gorgeous, love the colurs and just my type of card. They didn't give you enough time today to do enough demos but loved the ones you managed to finish. Look forward to seeing you again tomorrow x Beverley x

  28. Hi Julia loving your demos I hope you have a chance to get finished today. I got my pick of the week and the Gand dies think I might have liked the pin wheels but has already done my order by then.
    I did order the radii ant and seedling nouveau embossing folder but as I didn't know the correct name I went by picture on the Internet and create and craft had the wrong details on the wrong picture so I am not getting them I will get hounds tooth and diamond instead which I already have. Create and craft strike again I am just hoping they get my package to me in one piece This time!
    Anyway loving your demos they can't spoil that.lol keep up the good work.
