Heartfelt Thanks

Hi Bloggers.

Thanks for all the emails and comments here on the blog yesterday. Glad you like the new stamps.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Sea Garden Embossing Folder. I inked around the edges with Salmon Adirondack Dye Ink.

I made my own embossing powder (bit of a thing at the moment!) by mixing a little Frosted Scarlet Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Subtle Shades Mica Spray Set with some Cosmic Shimmer True White Detail Embossing Powder. I stamped one of the Mini Elegant Frames using Perfect Medium and added my custom made powder (I did not heat set yet). I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Celebrations Sentiments Clear Stamp Set into the centre of the frame using Perfect Medium and added my powder. I heat set the lot and removed the excess mica using a dry wet wipe. I cut out using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics B and inked through the die with Salmon Ink.

I stamped the Flower Twist Frame onto Blush Card using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer True White Detail Embossing Powder. I cut out using the largest die in the Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics B die set and inked through the die all over the stamped area with Salmon Ink.

I cut a couple of leaves from Blush Card using Sue's Faux Quilled Leaves Die Set. I popped some Cosmic Shimmer Warm White Matt Chalk Paint onto my Craft Sheet and added a little Frosted Scarlet Mica Powder. I mixed it well using a brush and then applied it to a length of White Crochet Ribbon using Cut n Dry Foam. Once dry, I used it to make 2 flowers.

I pressed 3 Metal Art Deco Corners into Perfect Medium, added my custom powder and heat set. I added some Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue to the back of them and left them a few minutes for the glue to become tacky. I added them to the corners.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
