To my Wonderful Friend

Hi Bloggers.

Thank you for your emails and comments here on the blog yesterday - much appreciated as always.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I spritzed a piece of Milk Card with Chestnut Cosmic Shimmer Ink Spray Mist. Once dry, I stamped some of the Ivy Corner Stamp in each corner using Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.

I stamped the Sunflower Delight Stamp using Coffee Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Chestnut and Buttercup Cosmic Shimmer Ink Spray Mists and Soft Moss Cosmic Shimmer Vintage Ink Spray Mists. I cut it out using Spellbinders Marvelous Squares and inked through the die with Latte Adirondack Dye Ink. I cut the largest die in the same set out of Chestnut Card.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the sunflower, again using Coffee Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using the smallest die in Sue's Cordoba Die Set and inked through the die with Latte Ink. I drew around the die with a pencil onto Chestnut Card. I cut it out using scissors. I smoothed out any rough edges with an emery board.

I tied a bow using Brown Silky Crush Ribbon and added a Vintage Metal Embellishment.

I assembled the card as shown adding dots of Cosmic Shimmer Ivory PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
