Thank You

Hi Bloggers.

I'm heading off the Ally Pally after lunch today but I'll be drawing the winner of the card from Tuesday's post before I go so be sure to check back to see if you're the winner.

Here's today's card -

I started by spritzing a piece of Milk Card with Purple Orchid Vintage Ink Spray Mist. Once dry, I applied Lilac Blush Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Texture Paste through the Lace Mask (sorry still out of stock at CE HQ) in each corner. I put it aside to dry.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Kind Thoughts A5 Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using a die from Sue's Californian Collection Decorative Frames Set B and inked through the die with Dusty Concord. I cut a Hollywood die out of Heather Card, again inking through the die with Dusty Concord. I cut the largest of the Decorative Frames Set B dies and inked through the die with Dusty Concord.

I tied a bow using Purple/Ivory Striped Grosgrain and added a Fancy Pearl Embellishement.

Once the Sparkle Texture Paste was dry, I assembled the card as shown adding a White 8mm Pearl to each corner and I pierced around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    A lovely card in lilac. I think I will have to put the California set B on my list - I note that Sue has used it quite a few times on her blog.
    Have a fantastic time at Ally Pally - I'm sure there will be plenty of laughs with Phill Marthin (would love to meet him!!).
