Friends are a Wonderful Gift and Blog Candy draw

Hi Bloggers.

I have noticed that we have exceeded the 600 followers mark so I have drawn a name at random and the winner is ........

Mags!

Please email me at juliawattscrafts@gmail.comand I'll get your prize in the post to you.

Today's card is one of my favourites from the shows on Monday and it was a demo in the 7pm show.

For the background, I inked through the Doodle Daisies Mask with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. Then I stamped one of the larger swirls from the Embellishing Flourishes Stamp Set around the edges using Tumbled Glass. With the stamp in my hand I then randomly stamped the Plaid Stamp again using Tumbled Glass.I made sure the ink was dry and then inked around the edges with Tumbled Glass using Cut n Dry Foam. I wrapped some White Crochet Ribbon around the centre.

I stamped the sentiment from the Classic Sentiments Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Decorative Labels 8 and inked through the die with Tumbled Glass. I cut the next size up out of Foundations Shades Paper and again inked through the die with Tumbled Glass.

I made a flower using Spellbinders Spiral Blossom 4, inking through the die before rolling. I added a Pearl Swirl as a spray coming from the flower rather than adding some leaves or a bow.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Pearls in the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  11. Pretty card today Julia, and congrats on reaching 600 followers (though shame it wasn't my name that came out of the hat). Sue's blog is inflicted with a Malware warning again today, so I can't see it.

  12. Julia,
    I love this card and the color is one of my favorites. Thanks again for your quick response on sending my Amazon order, you really are amazing or you have a group of elves helping you distribute the items. I don't know how you get it all done, but I do thank you. I am loving the new stamps. Thanks for your creative spirit and for just being you. Love the cards.
