Thanks so much

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I inked through one of the elements in the Floral Elements Mask (not a stamp as some of you are commenting) in each corner using Dusty Concord Distress Ink. I then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Regal M-Bossabilities Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Dusty Concord.


I masked off the 'T' of the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Heartfelt Sentiments Stamp Set and inked up with Jet Black Archival. I removed the mask and stamped and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I stamped the monogram section of the Thank You Stamp using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out and placed it next to the rest of the sentiment. I selected a die to fit. I chose Spellbinders Pearl Effects. I removed the monogram and cut out. I inked through the die with Dusty Concord and added the monogram using 3d Foam.

I cut a Spellbinders Pearl Efffects Die out of Mauve Card.

I made a flower using Sue's Classic Rose Die Set. I tied a bow using Purple/Ivory Striped Grosgrain.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  31. Hi Julia,
    Late AGAIN, however had the family today so been a bit busy! Thought of you as we had lamb! Have you had the promised lamb yet?
    Back to cards! I really like today's card - love the colour and your background as usual sets the tone for the entire card. Lovely rose and ribbon. Did I ever tell you I like that ribbon? Ha ha.
    Love Myra
