Wishing you all the best

Hi Bloggers.

Day 2 of Ally Pally today. As I said yesterday, if you're visiting, please come and say Hi.

Here's today's card - comments saying it is too dark for you are not allowed today. Just think of it in lighter colours if that's what you're thinking! As always, the idea of this blog is to give you ideas and inspire you to have a go with your own colour schemes.

To start, I popped the Rope Mask onto a piece of Black Card and spread Silver Moon Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Texture Paste through it. I removed the mask and put aside to dry.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Gratitudes Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Silver Shine Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Captivating Squares. I cut a Spellbinders Marvelous Squares out of Silver Card.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  7. Good morning Julia I love today's card I use a lot of black in my cards it really makes them pop. I enjoyed yesterday at Ally Pally I saw your demo (which was brilliant) and I had a little chat with you as well. I spent way too much money. Have a great day today, I hope the clearing up goes well and that you have a safe journey home. For anyone else planning to go it is well worth the effort. Love Jackie

  10. Hi Julia, stunning card, I also love black and silver, they are a perfect match, I have just made 2 birthday cards with my rope mask, one in black and silver and one in copper and black. Both for men, and I was very pleased with the results. Wish I was coming to Ally Pally :-( Hope that day 2 is great. Bx

  26. Hi Julia
    Loving this card - as you may have realised I'm addicted to these masks and texture pastes. I recently did a blue version with the rope mask - but as I took it off it messed up on one side - so hey presto! I covered it with some silky crush ribbon and a sentiment. All is well in the craft room again. :)
    Hoping you have had an enjoyable Day 2 at AP. No doubt lots of laughs with Phill.
