A 'ruff' time

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I popped some Cosmic Shimmer Flake & Glitter Glue onto my craft sheet and picked some up onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam. I used it to 'ink up' the Pawprint Lattice Background Stamp and stamped it 4 times to cover the card. I put it aside for a few minutes whilst I cleaned the glue off my stamp using a Grime Boss. I then added Dark Bronze Cosmic Shimmer Polished Silk Glitter to the stamped area. Tip - you can cover any joins in the background that aren't perfect with the other components of your card! I inked the very edges of the background with Pumice Stone Distress Ink.

I added a piece of Creative Expressions Double Sided Self Adhesive Sheet to a piece of Coconut White Card. I dusted the Triple Scallop Mask with my Anti Static Bag and added it to the adhesive. I rubbed Sahara Gold Polished Silk Glitter into the exposed adhesive. I brushed off the excess glitter and removed the mask to reveal the reamining adhesive. I added Dark Bronze Polished Silk Glitter and brushed off the excess. I added a strip to the background as shown.

I stamped the Toby stamp using Flake & Glitter Glue and added Dark Bronze Polished Silk Glitter. I cut it out using a die from Sue's Innsbruck Die Set and inked through the die with Pumice Stone.

I stamped the sentiment from the Pawprints on Your Heart Clear Stamp Set using Flake & Glitter Glue and added Dark Bronze Polished Silk Glitter. I cut it out using a Justrite Antique Labels One Die and inked through the die with Pumice Stone.

I tied a bow using Brown Solid Satin Centre Band Ribbon and added a Vintage Black Button.

I assembled the card as shown adding a Small Black Circle Dazzler to each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Choco Brown PVA around the edges.

The latest auctions of card samples end tonight on ebay. Please click on the ebay link in the top menu of this blog to go and have a look. Proceeds going to Help for Heroes this time.

  13. Hi Julia
    I just love these stamps especially yesterday's as I wasn't able to comment on it for some reason. I set the recorder for the Tool Shed and Tuesday's 2 shows. However, for some reason the recorder didn't record any of them. Luckily I came home just after three and was able to recor the show manually. It records other shows just not Creative Expressions. It's obviously got the hump with the company. I hope it gets over its strop soon.

  16. Hi Julia

    Lovely card, the colours would be good for a mens/ boys card.

    Love the technique with the glitter and the mask, I don't have this exact one but sure it'd work with the others I have.

    Hugs

  17. Hi Julia, lovely card, and the sentiment is a much needed middle of the road stamp if that makes sense .
