Hi Bloggers.
Happy Christmas Eve!
Here's today's card -
For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Daisy Tiers Embossing Folder and inked around the edges with Pumice Stone Distress Ink. I rubbed Pewter Gilding Wax over the surface. Once dry, I buffed it up using a dry wet wipe.
I stamped the Kitten Treats Background twice using Pumice Stone. I cut 4 squares out using Spellbinders Classic Squares Small. I cut 4 Squares out of Slate Grey Card using Spellbinders Marvelous Squares.
I stamped Poppy using Pumice Stone and pulles a little of the colour out using a Tim Holtz Water Brush. I cut it out using Spellbinders Classic Squares Small and inked through the die with Pumice Stone. I cut the largest die in the Spellbinders Captivating Squares out of Slate Grey Card.
I stamped the sentiment from the Paws-itively Great Stamp Set using Pumice Stone. I cut it out using Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Ovals Large and inked through the die with Pumice Stone.
I tied a bow using Pewter Solid Satin Centre Band Ribbon and added a Heart Sparkler.
I assembled the card as shown adding a Small Circle Dazzler to each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Cosmic Pearl PVA around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.
