With Love Always

Hi Bloggers.

Day 2 of Ally Pally.

Here's today's card (the red card is showing up much brighter than it is in real life) -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Velvet Tea Lights Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design (it's a repeating pattern). I popped a little Pearl Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Paint onto my Craft Sheet. I picked some up onto my Craft Sheet and rubbed it over the embossed surface. I inked around the very edges with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.

I stamped the Rose Entwined Stamp using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Watercolour Paints. I used Summer Grass and Scarlet Sunset from the Brights Set and Pastel Aqua from the Pastels Set. I coloured the frame using Chestnut Cosmic Shimmer Ink Spray Mist.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the rose stamp, again using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Classic Squares and cut a mat out of Chestnut Card.

I cut the largest 2 dies from Sue's Granada Die Set out of Rich Red Card. I cut just the largest die out of Chestnut Card and glued the 2 die cuts together.

I tied a bow using Brown Silky Crush Ribbon and added a Vintage Bronze Button.

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.
