Love makes a beautiful ride

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Great Almanzo Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Barn Door Distress Ink.

I stamped the Loves Beautiful Ride Stamp using Red Geranium Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Fleur de Lys Rectangles and inked through the die with Barn Door.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the image, again using Red Geranium Archiva and embosssed with clear powder. I cut it out using another Fleur de Lys Rectangle and inked through the die with Barn Door.

I tied a bow using White Crochet Ribbon and added a flower made with Heartfelt Creations Sweet Juliet Die Set.

I assembled the card as shown adding a White 8mm Pearl in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pealrescent PVA in Berry Red around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  11. Being a cyclist I love the image you have used - although it wouldn't be a very comfortable ride with those wheels! And the red really makes it pop.Christine

  29. Hi Julia,
    This one is not for me today sorry! Just not keen on red - unless just a touch of it.
    Will be in the minority and we are all different and like different colours. Obviously it is still a Julia card with lots to like - just not the colour!
    Love Myra

  34. Not keen on the bright red Perhaos it's not "so in your face" in real life The bicycle is a lovely idea but as the wheels are heart shaped I personally see me using it for the few cards au make
