Hope you have a Blooming Great Day

Hi Bloggers.

Sue is on Create & Craft today at 12noon (for 2 hours) and again at 5pm. She has some gorgeous Justrite Stamps on the shows and lots of other new goodies from Creative Expressions. Hope you can tune in.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Perriwinkle Card through the Grand Calibur with Sue's Art Deco Fanfare Embossing Folder.

I stamped the Cut Glass Vase using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I masked the vase and then stamped the Floral Spray, again using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I made another mask and covered the newly stamped flowers. I stamped the Floral Spray again. I coloured in using Distress Markers. I used Salty Ocean, Ripe Persimmon, Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade and Mowed Lawn. I cut it out using Spellbinders Branching Out and inked through the die with Faded Jeans. I tied a bow using Cream Satin Edged Organza and added a Frosted Blue Dazzler.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the Scrollwork Vase using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles and inked through the die with Faded Jeans.

I assembled the card as shown adding a Cream 8mm Pearl in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pastel Blue PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  6. Lovely card Julia and keep meaning to mention that when you were on C and C the other day I liked how you had stuck the Cosmic Shimmer watercolour paints on to some Spellbinders packaging to keep the set together, brilliant idea! x
