If friends were flowers .....

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I popped my tan mat onto my base plate. I dusted a piece of Coconut White Card with my anti static bag and placed it dusted side up on my tan mat. I inked up the Lattice mask with Perfect Medium and placed it inked side down on top of the dusted card. I added the pink embossing plate and ran it through the Grand Calibur. The ink transferred to the debossed pattern. I added Cosmic Shimmer Burnt Red Lustre Embossing Powder, tapped off the excess and heat set. I used a dry wet wipe to remove most of the excess mica.

I stamped the rose cluster from the Posy Florals 2 Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Burnt Red Lustre. I cut it out using scissors leaving a narrow white border. I cut a Spellbinders Labels 28 and inked through the die with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. I cut a Spellbinders Fancy Postage Edge die and at the emboss stage added the Couture Creations Super Powder Puff Embossing Folder, I inked through the die with Victorian Velvet.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, again using Perfect Medium and embossed with Burnt Red Lustre. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 28 and inked though the die with Victorian Velvet.

I tied a bow using Rose Satin Edged Organza. I added a Fancy Pearl Embellishment and a couple of White Pearl Decorative Stick Pins.

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

I'll be back tomorrow with a card from tomorrow's wedding themed shows.

  12. Hi Julia

    Lovely card today and I love the colours. Will be recording tomorrow's shows. That's if they don't get cancelled again. I was so cross I emailed in to ask why they were cancelled. After all the hard work you put in to making the cards, it's very bad form for them to do that.

  30. Fabulous background again. Thanks for the sandwich instructions.
    I too emailed C&C the other day, but all they said was it was a schedule change! I replied that I had worked that out for myself but wanted to know why but they didn't explain.
    If they do it again, Im sure their email will melt down with complaints.
    Good luck for tomorrow. x
