Take Time for Yourself

Hi Bloggers.

A brown card today - the last one with my favourite image from the Elegant Ladies Stamp Set.

For the background, I simply ran a piece of Coconut White card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Exotic Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern and then inked around the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the image from the Elegant Ladies Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured her in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used Umber and Dark Spice from the Autumn Shades Set, Caramel Blush and Warm Delight from the Skin Tones Set. I cut her out using the smallest of the Spellbinders Grand Decorative Ovals One Dies and inked though the die with Vintage Photo.

I cut the next size up of the Grand Oval dies out of Brown Card. I cut the next size up out of Coconut White Card and inked through the die with Vintage Photo.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with clear powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 25 and inked through the die with Vintage Photo.

I made a couple of ribbon roses out of Brown/Ivory Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and added some leftover bits from a Pearl Swirl.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
