Best Wishes

Hi Bloggers.

I have shows today on Create & Craft at 10am with Leonie and 4pm with Martyn. Hope you can join me.

There are some new frame stamps on the shows today. I'm not sure what they're called but they are lovely.

For the background, I stamped the Henna Floral Border both sides of a piece of Coconut White Card using Seedless Preserves Distress Ink. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Joe's Garden Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Seedless Preserves. I added some 3mm White Pearls to the border design.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Celebration Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Silver Shine Detail Powder. I stamped the frame around it. I cut it out using Spellbinders Majestic Labels 25 and inked through the die with Seedless Preserves. I cut another couple of Majestic Labels 25 dies out of Rich Plum Card to form a mat.

I cut some of the smallest dies from the Spellbinders Aster Flower Topper Die Set, inking through the die with Seedless Preserves.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  28. Hi Julia
    Just watched the programme! Where does the time go! Loved the card you demoed! It was gorgeous - but I love blue. I ordered some card as I go through loads of the basic colours now. Also the little sparkle pots! Now that was your fault - you made me want those with your lovely demonstration! I've got to blame someone!
    Safe travel home, Julia, in this shocking weather.
    Love Myra
