Thanks

Hi Bloggers.

August is Sale Month at Julia Watts Crafts. Lots of crafting goodies reduced in price. You can go to the store by clicking here or the Amazon link in the menu at the top of this blog. Just to confirm that postage is charged at £2.90 for the first item and then 10p extra for each extra item on the same order.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Rich Plum Card through the Grand Calibur with the Checkerboard PinPoint Embossing Folder. I popped a little Gold Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Paint onto my Craft Sheet. I picked some up onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam and rubbed it over the embossed surface.

I stamped the Justrite Floral Stitched Background using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Gold Detail Embossing Powder. I stamped it a second time. I cut 3 panels and matted onto Vintage Gold Card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Applique Flowers Stamp Set onto Rich Plum Card using Perfect Medium and embossed with Gold Detail Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Sentiment Tag Dies. I stamped the frame from same stamp set onto Vintage Gold Card, again using Perfect Medium and embossed with Gold Detail Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Tag Dies.

I made a bow using Sue's Filigree Bow Die Set.

I pressed some 8mm Cream Pearls into Perfect Medium, added Gold Detail Powder, tapped off the excess and chased the round my craft sheet with a heat tool.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  29. Hi Julia

    Such rich colours, and the stitched flowers stamp making another appearance but looking completely different to last time when you used it as the focal element. These colours and this layout make for an hour elegant, grown up card. I like it a lot
