Hug so Tight

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I started by dusting a piece of Milk Card with my Anti-Static Bag and popped it on top of my tan mat which was on top of my Grand Calibur pink plate. I inked the Ivy border mask with Clear Perfect Medium and placed it ink side down on top of my background card. I ran it through the Grand Calibur. The ink transferred to the debossed pattern. I added Cosmic Shimmer Gold Detail Powder and heat set. I ran it through the Grand Calibur again with the Creative Expressions Heart Lattice Embossing Folder. I inked around the edges with Barn Door Distress Ink and then rubbed Enchanted Gold Gilding Wax over the embossed surface. I left it for a few minutes to dry and then buffed it up using a dry wet wipe.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Uplifting Thoughts Stamp Set onto Rich Red Card using Perfect Medium and embossed with Gold Detail Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics B.

I stamped the Curled Frame, again using Perfect Medium and embossed with Gold Detail Powder. I cut it out using the largest die in the Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics B die set.

I cut a Couture Creations Lotus Filet out of Vintage Gold Card.

I cut a piece of Cream Crochet Ribbon in half lengthways and rubbed some Enchanted Gold Gilding Wax along the outside edge of one piece and made a flower out of it. I cut 2 leaves out of Vintage Gold Card using the Couture Creations Ivy Die. I added a Pearl Spray and some Gold Tulle.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Cream Pearls to the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Ivory PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
