There's only one like you!

Hi Bloggers.

Thanks for all your messages, emails and comments here on the blog. I'm glad you enjoyed the eclectic mix of stamps on the shows.

Here's the card I didn't quite get to finish in the first show yesterday -

For the background I stamped the Sunflower Corner around the edges using Fired Brick Distress Ink. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Ooh La La Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Fired Brick using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the Tatty's Sunflower 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, Scarlet Flame and Umber from the Autumn Shades Set, Sunflower from the Summer Fayre Set, Jade Teal from the Garden Twist Set and Cosmic Tone from the Skin Tones Set. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 29 and inked through the die with Fired Brick.

I cut a large Spellbinders Romantic Rectangle out of our new Ruby Card (on order). At the emboss stage I added the Couture Creations Great Almanzo Embossing Folder. I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Treasured Memories Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 17 and inked through the die with Fired Brick.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Red Sheer Wrinkled Edge Ribbon and added a Fancy Pearl Embellishment.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  16. Lovely card Julia. Recorded both of your shows (or so I thought) but the second one didn't record for some reason so I'm not a happy bunny. Watched the first show though and thoroughly enjoyed it as always. Pat x

  19. Morning Julia, another great card although I have to admit that Tatty Button is not necessarily my favourite. Have added the inks that you coloured with to my wish list as well now as they looked so easy to use and I loved the fact that they didn't spill when knocked over so ideal fro my granddaughter to use too.

    Have a great day

  24. Hello Julia, A pretty and warm card today, will be keeping an eye open for the card, really like this shade of red. Tatty Button stamps are on my wish list, so quirky, I love them.
    Missed the first show, but the second one was great, you are so happy and your humour is infectious, thank you for your inspiration.
    Take care.
