Best Wishes

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur using the Creative Expressions Celtic Flower Embossing Folder. I inked around the edges with Scattered Straw Distress Ink and then rubbed Enchanted Gold Gilding Wax all over the embossed surface. Iput it aside to dry for a few minutes and then buffed it up using a dry wet wipe.

I stamped one of the frames from the Mini Ornate Frames Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Perfect Medium and added Cosmic Shimmer Gold Detail Embossing Powder. I did not emboss just yet. I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Celebrations Sentiments, again using Perfect Medium, added Gold Detail Powder and heat set the lot. I cut it out using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics B ans inked through the die with Scattered Straw.

I stamped the Filigree Frame onto Custard Card using Perfect Medium and embossed with Gold Detail Powder. I cut it out using the largest die in the Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics B.

I cut some leaves out of Custard Card using Sue's Faux Quilled Leaves Die Set. I cut some flowers out of Coconut White Card using Sue's Delicate Daisies - Complete Petals Die Set and inked through the dies with Scattered Straw. I shaped the flowers using a paper shaping tool and a moulding mat. I stacked them in pairs and added a White Pearl to the centre of each.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    A beautiful card today!
    Unfortunately I won't be at Ally Pally this year - must save my pennies and not be tempted! Big holiday in January to see my daughter in Hong Kong and then on to Thailand!! Yes - second part a bit daunting at present but is anywhere safe these days?
    Enjoy your day.
