You are So Loved

Hi Bloggers.

A simple masculine card today.

The background is a piece of Foundations Argyle Paper. I stamped the image from the Creative Expressions Trees of Imagination Stamp Set onto some Milk Card using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using the backing die from the Spellbinders CFT Puzzle Effect die set. I cut a Scalloped Labels One out of black card.

I wrapped a piece of American Seam Binding around my background as shown. I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Fanciful Phrases Stamp Set using Jet Archival and embossed with clear powder. I cut it out using the tag die from the Spellbinders French Frill die set. I cut another tag out of black card and used the inner stamped piece with the outer black piece. I tied 2 Key Charms to some Baker's Twine and added it to the bottom of the tag.

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.
