Congratulations

Hi Bloggers.

Another ladies card today - this image is also available as a Pre Cut Single and I have it in stock at the moment in my Amazon Store here.

For the background, I used Coconut White Card. With the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped the Hexagon Script stamp using Barn Door Distress Ink and then the Rose Background Stamp using Fired Brick Distress Ink. I made sure the ink was dry and then dusted the whole area with an anti-static bag. I stamped the little rose stamp that comes on the Creative Expressions Elegant Ladies Stamp Set, using Perfect Medium, randomly over the background and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Coral Glow Aurora Embossing Powder from the Brights Set. I inked around the edges of the background with Barn Door using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the image using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used Marigold and Dark Spice from the Autumn Shades Set, Sunflower from the Summer Fayre Set and Warm Delight from the Skin Tones Set. I cut it out using the smallest of the Spellbinders Grand Decorative Ovals One dies and inked through the die with Barn Door. I cut the largest of the Spellbinders Labels 25 dies. At the emboss stage I added the Couture Creations Turkish Delight Embossing Folder. I inked through the die with Barn Door.

I stamped the sentiment from the Elegant Ladies Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with the clear powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Card Creator Distressed Edges and inked through the die with Barn Door.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of White Silky Crush Ribbon. I added a Red 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 White around the edges.

I think I may share a sneak peak from Tuesday's shows tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  9. Great card Julia, I made one very similar to yours last Sunday, although my Background wasn't quite as good as yours!
    Question....... When you randomly stamp with your hand are the stamps mounted on U Mount???
    Looking forward to Tuesdays show .

  16. Morning, Julia. I'm loving the ladies cards - its really nice to have samples of something you have bought, unlike tv where they sell to a thousand customers then stop any demos to show those customers how to use what they have just bought! I have often found that policy unfair and frustrating. I know c and c is fundamentally sales driven (it has to be or we wouldn't have any gorgeous people demo-ing, etc) And rules is rules as they say! I am always disappointed if I have just bought something and all the demos are then pulled from the same show. So... Lovely to have people like you and Sue who keep on showing us what we can do. Thank you!!
    Hugs

  22. Morning Julia, Like this one, like it a lot! Love the rose background stamp, I will have to get this one. The colours are so perfect, loving the vibrant red. I've ordered myself some of that crushed ribbon, can't wait for it to come. Hopefully, my bows will be as elegant as yours. Have a fab day, Hugs Debbie R xx

  27. Hi Julia another great card with a super background and the shade of red you've used is lovely too,sometimes red can be a bit too bright and gaudy!! Lol looking forward to sneaky peek for your shows next week, I also have to agree with Anne that its really annoying when they won't allow you to use items that have sold out. Love Lesley x
