Best of Luck

Hi Bloggers.

Wow! Thank you for all your orders from my Amazon Store. Some of Sue's dies have already sold out. I have re-ordered and I'm hoping they'll be here Wednesday or Thursday.

Here's today's card -

For the main background, I cut a Spellbinders Grand Decorative Labels One out of Milk Card. After embossing, I left the card in the die. I used the Creative Expressions Rose Corner in my hand and repeatedly stamped it using Shaded Lilac Distress Ink. I carefully removed the excess ink from the die and then inked through the die with Shaded Lilac using Cut n Dry Foam. I cut a larger Decorative Grand Label One and inked through the die with Shaded Lilac.

I stamped the Classic Rose Stem using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Shaded Lilac and Crushed Olive Distress Markers. I cut it out using Spellbinders Decorative Labels 28 and inked through the die with Shaded Lilac Distress Ink.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the Classic Rose Stem, again using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Branching Out and inked through the die with Shaded Lilac.

I assembled the card as shown adding a Pearl Swirl.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  10. Hi Julia. What a gorgeous card you have for us today. I love the Rose Corner background stamp and the Classic Rose stem. They are beautiful. Shaded Lilac is one of my favourite colours so how wonderful to see you using it. Glad that Sue's die sets are selling so well, not surprised though as they are all stunning and such a good price. Take care.

  25. Hi Julia,
    Another lovely card! That rosebud stamp is one of my favourites and it stamps beautifully - even for me! The colour looks blue on my screen also but it does make it very clear.
    Thought of you earlier as my leg of lamb went in the oven!
    Pleased you had a busy day yesterday.
    Love Myra
