Hi Bloggers.
Hope you had a good Christmas Day and have a relaxing day today.
Here's today's card -
This card started with some coloured Sparkle Texture Paste that I had left over from another project. Rather than waste it I used it through the Criss Cross Mask so I could use it as a panel. By the way, it was the Cosmic Shimmed Frosty Dawn Texture Paste mixed with a little Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. Once the Texture Paste was dry I ran the piece through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Rambling Blossoms Embossing Folder and then matted it onto Aqua Card.
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 Tumbled Glass.
I masked off the frame on the Regal Iris Stamp with Low Tack Tape. I inked it up with Jet Black Archival, removed the tape and stamped onto Coconut White Card. I embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Tumbled Glass and Crushed Olive Distress Markers. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 29 and inked through the die with Tumbled Glass.
I stamped the sentiment that comes with the Desert Daisies Stamp using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles Two and inked through the die with Tumbled Glass.
I assembled the card as shown adding a couple of White Mini Pearl Swirls, some 8mm White Pearls to the corners and somw dots of Cosmic Shimmer Cosmic Pearl PVA around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
