Shows on Create & Craft Today

Hi Bloggers.

I have shows on Create & Craft today at 8am and 2pm. Hope you can join me. There are different Justrite Stamps and Dies on each show that have special prices.

Here's today's card -

For this card, I made myself a custom made ink pad. I cut a piece of Cur n Dry Felt roughly the size of the flower stamp I wanted to use from the Justrite Floral Thank You Stamp Set. I added some drops of Seedless Preserves, Peeled Paint and Tumbled Glass Distress Re-inkers onto the felt side of the pad. This is what my ink pad looks like -

I used this to stamp the image and the sentiment both from the Justrite Floral Thank You Stamp Set. I really like the colour variation from this. I cut them out using Spellbinders Labels 29 and Justrite Vintage Sentiment Tag Dies respectively and inked through the dies with Seedless Preserves Distress Ink.

For the background, with the stamp in my hand I randomly stamped the Justrite Dotted Fronds Background onto a piece of Milk Card using my Custom Made Ink Pad. Then I repeated the process using the Justrite Iron Swirls Background using Seedless Preserves Distress Ink. I then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Rambling Blossoms Embossing Folder and inked around the edges with Seedless Preserves.

I used my Custom Made Ink Pad to colour a piece of Milk Card and cut some leaves using Sue's Petite Vinery Die Set. I cut 2 of the smallest die and 4 of the next size up of the Justrite Vintage Labels Three Dies out of Milk Card and used them to make a scrunched up flower. I inked the edges with Seedless Preserves.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Cream Pearls to the corners and I pierced around the edges with a Pierceing Ruler and Piercing Tool.

The ink pad will last quite a while when kept in a plastic bag.

Hope you can join me today.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
