Best Wishes

Hi Bloggers.

A non-dance themed card today -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Sea Garden Embossing Folder and inked around the edges with Pink Sherbet Adirondack Dye Ink. I rubbed Blush Gilding Wax over the embossed design and put aside to dry for a few minutes. Once dry, I buffed it up using a dry wet wipe.

I stamped one of the Mini Ornate Frames onto Pink Card using Perfect Medium and added Cosmic Shimmer True White Detail Embossing Powder (I did not heat set just yet. I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Celebrations Sentiments Stamp Set in the centre using Perfect Medium, added True White Detail Powder and heat set the lot. I cut it out using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics B. I cut the next two sizes from the same die set out of Coconut White Card and Pink Card.

I cut a Couture Creations Lotus Filet out of Coconut White Card.

I popped some Cosmic Shimmer Warm White Matt Chalk Paint onto my Craft Sheet and mixed in some Frosty Mallow Mica Powder from the Delicate Lace Cosmic Shimmer Mica Spray Set. I used this to change the colour of a piece of White Crochet Ribbon using Cut n Dry Foam. Once dry, I cut it in half lengthways and made a flower. I cut a couple of leaves out of Coconut White Card using Sue Wilson's Faux Quilled Leaves Die Set.

I pressed 3 Art Deco Metal Corners into Perfect Medium, added True White Detail Powder, tapped off the excess and heat set. I let them cool down for a few minutes and then added some CS Dries Clear Glue to the back. I left them for a few minutes for the glue to go tacky and then added them to the corners.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  11. I don't usually like pink but this is subtle enough for me I'm living the blush wax I have often seen you use it but have only got a gold and silver which I only ever seem to use on black card This wax on white looks lovely

  16. Hi Julia

    Super pretty, feminine card... the 'frame' stamp is going from a want to a must and the couture creations die is just gorgeous. The crochet ribbon and Sue's faux quilled leaves are a match made in heaven!

  24. Hi Julia,
    Long time no comment! Sorry about that but I have looked in each day but I'm afraid the dance stamps just don't appeal to me at all. It's purely a personal thing as others clearly like them
    Today's card I really like. I love the colours used and your crochet flower is lovely.
    Have a good day.
    Love Myra
