In the Garden of Life

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I randomly inked through the Eyelet Lace Mask with Dried Marigold Distress Ink. I repeated the process with the Knitted Mask and Bundled Sage Distress Ink. I then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations My Garden Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Dried Marigold.

I stamped the image from the Heartfelt Creations Majestic Morning Bouquet Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Pastel Orange from the Cosmic Shimmer Pastels Watercolour Paint Set and Golden Pear Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Garden Flora Mica Spray Set. I cut it out using Spellbinders Decorative Labels One and inked through the die with Dried Marigold.

I cut one of the Heartfelt Creations Raindrops on Roses Dies out of Apricot Card and inked through the die with Dried Marigold.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Natures Sentiments Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders A2 Curved Matting Basics B and inked through the die with Dried Marigold.

I tied a little bow using Chalk White American Seam Binding. I popped a little Cosmic Pearl PVA onto my craft sheet and mixed in a little Pastel Orange Watercolour. I painted this onto a Small Fancy Pearl Embellishment.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Cream Pearls in the corners and some dots of Cosmic Pearl PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  22. Hi Julia,
    Lovely card as usual ! The sentiment is lovely as well . The clour is just not a favourite of mine! I would copy - but in another colour, probably. I don't even have that colour of ink! Pink , lilac and blue yes! However you often say - do it in another colour. So I will.
    Love Myra
