Buy it in Every Colour!

Hi Bloggers.

A bright shoe card today.

For the background, I stamped one of the swirls from the Creative Expressions Beaded Elements Stamp Set (now back in stock) using Dried Marigold Distress Ink randomly over a piece of Coconut White Card. I dried the ink with my heat tool and then ran the piece through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Bouquet Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern (it didn't line up exactly but that didn't matter as most of it would be covered by my topper. I inked around the edges with Wild Honey Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the image from the Creative Expressions Sole Creations Stamp Set (also now back in stock) using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured it in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks and then cut it out using Spellbinders Labels Twenty-Six. I inked through the die with Wild Honey.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set again using the Jet Black Archival and embossed with the clear powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels Fourteen.

I tied a messy bow using 3 lengths of Blue White American Seam Binding. I threaded some Baker's Twine through a yellow button and tied a bow. I added this to my bow.

I added a 8mm White Pearl to each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  26. I am so in love with the background you have created with those stamps Julia! It's stunning!!! I love the whole cards layout also, but I'm going to have to get those gorgeous swirls as well...! I'm just not sure my bank can take any more expense after the last months spend due to yourself & Sue!!! Claire xxx
