Choose Joy

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I sprayed some of Phill Martin's Graceful Lilac Ink Spray Mist onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam to make myself an 'ink pad' (you could also use Cut n Dry Felt). I used this to stamp the Justrite Sweet Lace Background Stamp onto Coconut White Card.

I then spayed a little more onto my Craft Sheet and mixed this with a little Graceful Lilac Mica Powder. I added this to my 'ink pad' and used it to stamp the Sweet Lace Background once again. I inked around the edges of the whole piece using Dusty Concord Distress Ink.  I wrapped a piece of White Crochet Ribbon around to hide the join.

I stamped the butterfly image using Perfect Medium and embossed using Graceful Lilac Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Standard Circles Large. I cut the frame out of Mauve Card using Spellbinders Botanical Swirls & Accents Die Set and inked through the die with my Ink/Mica Ink Pad. I tied a bow using White Crochet Ribbon and added a White Crystal Sparkler.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite What Defines Us Clear Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Graceful Lilac Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Filigree Bracket Die and inked through the die with Dusty Concord.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearls to the corners and some dots of Phill Martin Graceful Lilac PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.
