Just Because

Hi Bloggers.

Hope you enjoyed the shows yesterday - 8 more today! First one is at 8am on Ideal World with Zoe.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I spritzed through the Leaves Mask with Cosmic Shimmer Egyptian Blue Vintage Mister. I dried it with my heat tool and then randomly stamped one of the swirls from the Creative Expressions Mini Swirl Stamp Set using Aqua Adirondack Dye Ink Pad.

I cut the smallest of the Spellbinders Grand Decorative Ovals out of white card. At the emboss stage I added the Couture Creations Alora Embossing Folder. I inked through the die with the Aqua ink. I cut the Eiffel Tower from the Spellbinders French Frills die set out of pale blue card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Trees of Imagination Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using the tag die from the French Frills set and inked through the die with Aqua.


I tied a bow using 2 lengths of White Sheer Wrinkle Edge Ribbon and added a Frosted Blue Dazzler and a couple of White Pearl Decorative Stick Pins.

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

Hope you can join me for some of the shows today (details in the left-hand sidebar).

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  1. What a lovely card, will be glued again today but will have to keep my hands in my pockets this time, how hard it will be, but the joy at watching the demonstrations.

  2. Lovely delicate card this morning, Julia. I saw one of your shows yesterday, and once again, C&C haven't stocked enough for you to do your demos. I can envisage you not having anything to demo with this morning! C&C never get it right when it comes to Spellbinders.

  4. Good Morning Julia,
    You were brilliant on the shows last night, your sample cards were fabulous, just like today's, the demo's cards were lovely, shame there was not enough time for you to complete them, will miss the shows today, work gets in the way. Sorry did not buy anything, as I have some of the dies already. Will not buy them seperately from CC, they are too dear, can get them cheaper elsewhere, without their P&P charges.
    Have another great show day today.

  20. Hi julia lovely card very soft and pretty although I like one of the other bloggers would like to see a british set!! Didn't buy the potd as already have 2 of the sets,its really annoying when c+c do that,they must know that people have already got one or two of the sets.they could at least have the new set as a seperate option!! Anyway they lost my custom as I went elsewhere to buy the dies I wanted!! Rant over hope the rest of your shows are a success love lesley xx

  30. Hi Julia,
    This is my first time posting a comment but I have been checking in on your blog for some time and I love your cards. I really enjoyed seeing you on TV today and was very disappointed when some of your shows were cencelled. I love the way you make your own backgrounds and you make it seem so easy! Keep up the good work, thanks for the inspiration.

  31. Hi Julia, another beautiful card, and lovely soft colours. I was also disappointed when I realised that some of your shows were cancelled and agree with Joan above. Your backgrounds are fab and I actually have a few of the masks but have not used them to ink through, so once again more inspiration from you.
    Thank you , look forward to the next card on here,
    Julie x

  32. Hi Julia...Beautiful card..I was also disappointed that some of the shows were cancelled. I usually miss the live shows because of work, and when I do get to see the recording it has usually SOLD OUT...I love watching your shows, Like Sue you are an inspiration...Thank you for sharing your beautiful work...

    Happy crafting
