Hope you have Bags of Fun

Hi Bloggers.

Thanks for all your comments and emails yesterday - much appreciated, as always. Hope you checked out Sue's video on her blog yesterday - I thought it was brilliant! I'm sure there's lots more to come.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I randomly stamped one of the leaves from the Creative Expressions Autumn Blessings Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Silver Detail Embossing Powder. I edged the piece with Terra Cotta Adirondack Dye Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I cut a piece of Self Adhesive Sheet the same width as the background, peeled the backing off and popped it on top of a piece of card. I peeled the other side of backing off and rubbed Cosmic Shimmer Red Speckle Gilding Flakes into it. I then ran it through the Couture Creations Hyper Magical Embossing Folder.

I stamped the Handbag from the Bags of Style Stamp Set using Terra Cotta Adirondack and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder, I cut it out using Spellbinders Distressed Edges and inked through the die with Terra Cotta. I added a 5mm Cream Pearl to the clasp and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Dark Bronze Pearlescent PVA to the detail on the handbag.

I stamped the sentiment from the Bags of Style Stamp Set, again using Terra Cotta and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using a Justrite Vintage Labels Four Die and inked through the die with Terra Cotta.

I assembled the card as shown adding a couple more pearls in the top corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Dark Bronze Pearlescent PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  19. Hiya Julia,
    Fabulous shows yesterday & stunning card above!! I did email in yesterday morning with a photo of a card I made using the older stamps with leaves & a tree on (sorry I cant remember the name of it). I requested that, if you want it, you can keep the pic. I used the tree stamp with loads of leaves behind it, the sentiment to the right & real dried leaves, acorns & a conker in the bottom left corner.... Looks really good even though I say so myself.
    I always love watching the shows when you are on as you explain the steps as you go along, making it a lot easier for those of us who are disabled (like me) or those who cant record the show. A question please - WILL YOU BE AT THE NEC IN NOVEMBER please???
