Toolshed on Create & Craft today

Hi Bloggers.

I'm on the Toolshed on Create & Craft today at 12noon for 2 hours. Looks like it's with Dean. Hope you can join me.

Here's today's card which will hopefully be the first demo -

Now, I'll start with the fancy die that's on there - this is your heads up! It's the Couture Creations Tied Together Die. It's based on the very popular Tied Together Embossing Folder. The die has been around for a little while but it's been selling out every time we've had it in so have been unable to get it onto a show. We've more stock this time so I've grabbed some for the Toolshed. You may have to be quick though! Anyways, I cut it out of Sky Blue Card, added some dots of Phill Martin Vintage Blue PVA and put aside to dry.

For the background, I stamped the Justrite Cornflower Damask Background onto Coconut White Card using Perfect Medium. I stamped it a second time to extend the design. I then dusted Tropic Blue Mica Powder (from the Garden Flora Cosmic Shimmer Mica Spray Set) all over. I removed the excess using a dry wet wipe.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Birthday Florals Vintage Labels 8 & 9 Clear Stamp Set onto Sky Blue Card using Perfect Medium and embossed using Cosmic Shimmer True White Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using a Justrite Vintage Labels 8 Die.

I mixed a little Tropic Blue Mica Powder with some True White Detail Powder to make my own shade of Embossing Powder. I stamped the frame from the same stamp set onto Coconut White Card using Perfect Medium, added the custom made powder and heat set. I removed the excess mica using a dry wet wipe. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels 8.

I popped a Creative Expressions Double Sided Self Adhesive Sheet onto a piece of Coconut White Card. I cut some flowers using Sue's Delicate Daisies - Complete Petals Die Set. I peeled away the backing and added Cosmic Shimmer Diamond Sprinkles to them all. I stacked them up to make 3 flowers and added some Phill Martin Vintage Blue Twinkles to the centres. I cut some leaves out of Sky Blue Card using Sue's Curled Vines Die Set.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Small Circle Dazzlers to the corners and some dots of Phill Martin Vintage Blue PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
