Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Flourish Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Dusty Concord Distress Ink.

I masked the frame off on the Rose Entwined Stamp, inked up using Coffee Archival, removed the mask and stamped. I embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Purple Violet from the Cosmic Shimmer Brights Watercolour Paint Set and Soft Moss Cosmic Shimmer Vintage Ink Spray Mist.

I cut it out using Couture Creations Ornate Rectangle and inked through the die with Dusty Concord. I put the outer frame from the die cut aside for another project and cut out again using Mauve Card.

I stamped the sentiment from the All Occasions Sentiments Stamp Set 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 Dusty Concord.

I made a flower out of White Crochet Ribbon.

I cut Sue's Peitie Vinery Dies out of Mauve Card and inked through the dies with Dusty Concord.

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

I have uploaded photos of the samples from Tuesday's shows to Facebook. You can see them here.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
