You're the Best!

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I stamped the Justrite Secret Garden Background onto Coconut White Card using Perfect Medium. I dusted a little Enchanted Gold and Tropic Blue Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Garden Flora Mica Spray Set and some Harebell Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Subtle Shades Mica Spray Set over the stamped background. I removed the excess with a dry wetwipe. I ran some Cosmic Shimmer Sky Blush Twinkles around the edges.

I stamped the Floral Spray using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Pastel Blue Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Opulent Ovals and inked through the die with Faded Jeans Distress Ink. I cut a larger Opulent Oval out of Periwinkle Card.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the Cut Glass Vase, again using Perfect Medium and embossed with Pastel Blue Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels 4 and inked through the die with Faded Jeans.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearls to the top right hand corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pastel Blue PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  25. I love this card, I already have the background stamp and ordered a flower and vase stamp yesterday so will hopefully be making a Mothers Day card soon.
    I hope after Sue's announcement yesterday you will be staying with Creative Expressions.

  26. Hi Julia,
    As has been said already - love the background you have on this card. Buying the stamps and getting "Julia" backgrounds can in my case at least not add up to the same thing! Watch and learn is still my motto - guess I need more practice. Having said that I'm loving my Iridescent Sparkle pigment set! It's beautiful and very forgiving!
    Thanks again, Julia,
    Love Myra
