Hey There!

Hi Bloggers.

Be sure to read to the end of this post. I have some newsy bits to share.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Mauve Card through the Grand Calibur with the Checkerboard PinPoint Embossing Folder. I rubbed Pearl Moon Gilding Wax all over the embossed surface.

I pressed 4 Victorian Metal Corners into Perfect Medium, added Cosmic Shimmer True White Detail Powder and heat set. I added some Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue to the backs of the corners. I left the glue for a couple of minutes for it to become tacky and then added the corners to the background.

I wrapped a piece of White Crochet Ribbon around the centre of the background.

I stamped the Justrite Basket Weave Background using Perfect Medium. I brushed some Lapis Lavender Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Summer Shades Mica Spray Set. I wiped away the excess with a dry wet wipe. I cut it out using Sue's Granada Die from the Spanish Collection.

I stamped the typewriter from the Justrite Just Typed Clear Stamp Set onto Mauve Card using Perfect Medium and embossed with True White Detail Powder. I cut it out using scissors.

I stamped several sentiments from the Justrite Typewriter Sentiments Clear Stamp Set using Dusty Concord Distress Ink. I trimmed them and edged them with Dusty Concord.

I tied a bow using White Crochet Ribbon and added a Clear Sparkler.

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

I raised £50.42 for Macmillan Cancer Support from the sale of packs of samples on ebay. Thank you you to those of you who supported this. I hope you are pleased with your purchases. I will auction some more packs next month.

I am pleased to reveal that I have set the date for my next workshop at Creative Expressions HQ in Kettering. The date is Tuesday 21st October. A morning workshop and an afternoon workshop. Both workshops feature some of Sue's new dies.

The first workshop is 10am till 1pm.
