Wish Big

Hi Bloggers.

Thank you for all of you comments yesterday. It's really good to get your feedback.

I don't think this card has been shown very much either in the Pick of the Week or Sue's Pick of the Day. So, I'm sharing it here today.


This card started with the backing paper which is from Wild Rose Studio. I then found some pale yellow and lilac card to co-ordinate. I drew around one of the Spellbinders Scalloped Labels One dies to help me plan where I needed to stamp. I stamped the sentiment and the grasses from the Creative Expressions Dandelion Wishes Stamp Set using Cobalt Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I placed the Scalloped Labels One die back over the pencil line and cut it out. I cut a motif from the Venetian Motifs die set out of lilac and pale yellow card - best to use some greaseproof paper with these. I offset them on top of each other and popped the Scalloped Labels One on top.


I made two flowers using the border from Asian Accents die set, one in pale yellow card and one in purple felt. I made them using the same technique as in Sue's Ribbon Flower Tutorial. I cut a couple of 'leaves' out using the Venetian Motifs set. I wrapped some Baker's Twine from the Vintage set around the card and added a bow then popped my leaves and flowers on top.


I cut 2 corners from the Venetian Motifs die set out of pale yellow card and 2 out of lilac card. I popped them in the top corners of the card as shown. I completed the card with some piercing around the edges with my Tim Holtz Ruler.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
