Eat Sleep Salsa

Hi Bloggers.

Here's todays card -

For the background, with the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped Phill Martin's Vintage Sheet Music Background onto Coconut White Card using Seedless Preserves Distress Ink. I repeated the process with Phill Martin's Vintage Script Background using Dusty Concord Distress Ink. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Floral Brocade PinPoint Embossing Folder. I inked around the edges with Seedless Preserves and rubbed Pearl Moon Gilding Wax over the embossed surface. I left it to dry for a few minutes and then buffed it up using a dry wet wipe.

I stamped the Salsa Stamp using Perfect Medium and embossed using Cosmic Shimmer Arctic Black Aurora Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 8 and inked through the die with Seedless Preserves. I cut a Spellbinders Locking Loops Die out of Rich Plum Card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Step by Step Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Arctic Black Aurora Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels Two Dies and inked through the die with Seedless Preserves. I cut a Spellbinders Floral Ribbon Threader Die out of Rich Plum Card.

I tied a bow using Sheer Iridescent Ribbon, added some Black Tulle, a Black Crystal Sparkler and a couple of Black Pearl Decorative Stick Pins.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Small Black Circle Dazzlers to the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Black Pearl PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
