Hi Bloggers.
Happy Christmas! Hope your Turkey is in the oven!
Today's card was meant to be a demo when I did the Justrite Sale Shows but there wasn't time so, I've put it together and I thought I would offer it up as a giveaway. So, leave a comment on this post and I'll make the draw on Sunday.
For the background, I stamped the little flourishes from the Justrite Ornate Happiness Squares Clear Stamp Set down both sides of a piece of Coconut White Card using Dusty Concord Distress Ink. I then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Art Deco Fanfare Embossing Folder and inked around the edges with Dusty Concord.
I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Enjoy the Day Clear Stamp Set and the frame from the Justrite Ornate Happiness Squares Clear Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Phill Martin's Graceful Lilac Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Ornate Squares.
I cut a Spellbinders Asian Motif Die out of Mauve Card and inked through the die with Dusty Concord. I cut the largest die in the set out of Coconut White Card and rubbed Phill Martin's Graceful Lilac Gilding Wax over it. Once dry, I buffed it up using a dry wet wipe.
I made a flower out of Purple/Ivory Striped Grosgrain. I cut some leaves out of Mauve Card using Sue's Curled Vines Die Set. I popped some Phill Martin Graceful Lilac Twinkles onto my Craft Sheet, picked it up onto some Cut n Dry Foam and used it to cover the leaves.
I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearls and some dots of Phill Martin's Graceful Lilac PVA around the edges.
Don't forget to leave a comment!
Have a Great Day.

ReplyDeleteMy favourite colourway and my favourite embossing folder, so this card is a definite 'winner'.
We have just finished our Christmas meal (not turkey !! haha), and the pudding has filled us all up, we could do with a nice long walk, although it is dark and raining, so maybe tomorrow !!
Lots of love from Patricia xx
