There's Only One Like You

Hi Bloggers.

This is one of my favourite cards from the shows on Tuesday.

For the background, I dusted a piece of Coconut White Card with my anti-static bag and placed it face up on my tan mat, which was lying on my base plate. I inked all over the Knitted Mask with Perfect Medium and placed it face down onto my card. I popped the pink embossing plate on top and ran it through the Grand Calibur. I carefully removed the mask from the card. The Perfect Medium had transferred to the de-bossed pattern. I added Cosmic Shimmer Pink Mallow Lustre Embossing Powder and heat set.


I stamped the Daisy Swirl using Perfect Medium and embossed with Pink Mallow Lustre. I cut it out using Spellbinders Fancy Postage Edge and inked through the die with Spun Sugar Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Creations Classic Messages Pre Cut Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Pink Mallow Lustre. I cut it out using one of the smaller dies from the Spellbinders Ornate Artisan Tags & Accents Die Set and inked through the die with Spun Sugar.

I made 2 ribbon flowers out of Pink/White Striped Grosgrain following Sue's Ribbon Flower Tutorial. I cut some 'leaves' using the Spellbinders Ornate Artisan Tags & Accents Die Set. On one pair, I inked through the die with Spun Sugar. On the other pair, I dusted them with my anti-static bag, popped them back in to the die and inked through the die with Perfect Medium. I removed them from the dies and added Pink Mallow Lustre and heat set.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  22. Hi Julia, Lovely card. Pink overload! I watched you do this one and thought it was very pretty. Although pink is defiantly not my colour this card might make an exception. Love the embossing powders they are to die for and NEED NEED to get some. There is definitely "Only one like you". Have a great day, crafty hugs Debbie R xx
