Just Because

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card  -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Checkerboard PinPoint Embossing Folder and inked around the edges with Dried Marigold Distress Ink.

I sprayed some Phill Martin Graceful Peach Ink Spray Mist onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam to make myself an 'ink pad'. I then spayed a little more onto my Craft Sheet and mixed this with a little Graceful Peach Mica Powder. I added this to my 'ink pad' and used it to stamp one of the corners from the Justrite Ornate Corners Clear Stamp Set along a strip of Coconut White Card to form a border. I matted this onto a piece of Peach Card.

I stamped the sentiment and the frame from the Justrite Botanical Swirls Labels Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Graceful Peach Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Botanical Swirls & Accents Die Set. I removed the sentiment/frame and inked through the die with the mister/mica ink pad for the outer frame. I cut a Justrite Nested Cloud & Tag Die out of Coconut White Card. I ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Quilted Flower Embossing Folder. I rubbed Gracefu Peach Gilding Wax over. Once dry, I buffed it up using a dry wet wipe. I added some Graceful Peach Twinkles around the edges using Cut n Dry Foam.

I cut the large corner die from the the Spellbinders Botanical Swirls & Accents Die Set out of Peach Card. I popped some Warm White Cosmic Shimmer Matt Chalk Paint onto my Craft Sheet and mixed in a little Graceful Peach Mica Powder. I used this to colour a piece of White Crochet Ribbon using a piece of Cut n Dry Foam. Once dry, I made a flower with half of it cut lengthways.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearls to the top right hand corner and some dots of Graceful Peach PVA around the edges.

I've taken a pic of the demo bits that are up for grabs from Monday's Craft Clinic. If you haven't already done so, leave a comment on Tuesday's blog post if you'd like to win a bag of homework!

 Thanks for stopping by.
