Shows today on Create & Craft

Hi Bloggers.

I have shows today on Create & Craft at 9am with Martyn and 3pm with Dave. Hope you can join me - I hope to tempt you with some lovely goodies! As this post goes live I will be well on my way to the studios - early start for me!

Here's today's card -

This is a really simple card but I wanted to share it today so that you could see the Couture Creations  Beautiful Butterfly Die that is on the show in a bundle with the Dragonfly Set.

Back to the card - For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Fauna Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design. I popped a little Pearl Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Paint onto my Craft Sheet. I picked a little up onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam and rubbed it over the embossed surface. This gives a pearl effect to the card and dries almost immediately. Not easy to see on the photo, I know, but hopefully the cameras will pick it up today.

I stamped the Desert Daisies Stamp 3 times onto Cobalt Card using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer True White Detail Embossing Powder. I trimmed them down using a trimmer leaving a border.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the Daisies, using Perfect Medium and embossed with True White Detail Powder. I cut it out using the smallest die in Sue's Granada Die Set.

I cut a couple of the Couture Creations Beautiful Butterfly Die out of Coablt Card, shaped them and added some White 3mm Pearls to the bodies.

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

I have had some help with the samples on today's shows so I would like to take this opportunity to thank Tracy Heaton, Kerry Hicton and Neil Burley from the Creative Expressions Design Team. All of the Creative Expression Design Team have been blogging samples made with this range of stamps this month.

See you later!

Thanks for stopping by.
