Happy Birthday to You

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I stamped the anchor design from the Justrite Anchors Away Clear Stamp Set along the bottom of a piece of Milk Card using Jet Black Archival. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calbur with the Checkerboard Embossing Folder. I inked around the edges with Faded Jeans Distress Ink. and wrapped a piece of Royal Blue/Ivory Striped Grosgrain around the centre.

I stamped the map frame from the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Nested Oval Medallion Lables Die Set and inked through the die with Faded Jeans. I stamped the anchor from the same stamp set, again using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using a Spellbinders Circle Die and inked through the die with Faded Jeans.

I stamped the banner sentiment from the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Antique Labels One Die Set and inked through the die with Faded Jeans.

I assembled the card as shown adding a couple of Black Pearls and some dots of Phill Martin Graceful Blue PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  6. Great card, very crisp & clean looking. We might go down to the beach later to see what's been washed up in the storms-it'll be safe as we have a huge flat expanse of sand on our beach!
