Happy Mother's Day

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's sunny card!

For the background, I popped my tan mat onto my base plate. I dusted a piece of Milk Card with my anti static bag and placed it dusted side up on my tan mat. I inked up the Eyelet Lace 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 Tropic Yellow Lustre Embossing Powder, tapped off the excess and heat set.

I stamped the image from the Spring Flowers Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Yellow Ultra Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Autumn Sunset Mica Spray Set and Jade Teal Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Luscious Greens Mica Spray Set. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 28 and inked through the die with Scattered Straw Distress Ink.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, again using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Scalloped Labels One and inked through the die with Scattered Straw.

I tied a bow using Cream Satin Edged Organza. I popped a little Cosmic Shimmer Golden Pearl PVA onto my craft sheet. I added a little water. I picked up some Yellow Ultra Mica Powder up on a damp brush amd mixed it into the diluted PVA. I then painted this onto a Small Fancy Pearl Embellishment. It doesn't take very long to dry.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Peartlescent PVA in Golden Pearl around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
