Best Wishes

Hi Bloggers.

Congratulations if you managed to get the Tied Together Folder - the re-stock had sold out by yesterday morning. Don't despair if you missed it though as you'll still be able to buy it on Sue's shows on Wednesday (while stocks last!)

A little more metal today.


For the background, I ran some Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Industrial M-Bossabilities Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern. This ended up being a bit messy in the middle but I was able to hide it with my topper!

I inked up some Aluminium Foil with Terracotta, Butterscotch and Sunshine Yellow Alcohol Inks using my Alcohol Ink Applicator Tool. When dry I popped it through the Grand Calibur with the Paisley M-Bossabilities Folder. I sanded it to reveal the Aluminium core.

I cut a Fancy Weave Frame out of black card. I stamped the Best Wishes portion of the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Button Florals Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using one of the small dies in the Fancy Weave set.

I cut the middle size of the Floral Burst Cut, Fold and Tuck die set out of black card. I folded and tucked it and then added a 5mm White Pearl to the centre.


I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Black Pearl around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  10. Julia,
    I am really liking the metallic sheets, they look very classic. I also wanted to say thanks for your quick return on my order to your Amazon shop, didn't realize that you were doing this yourself, you are one busy lady. I plan to make the Julia shop my primary source. Thanks.
