Embrace Love

Hi Bloggers.

I'm off to Norfolk early this morning for a demo at Albright of Diss. I'll be demoing 10 till 4. If you're in the area please stop by.

Here's today's card -

I stamped the sentiment and the image from John Lockwood's Scribbe Rose Elements Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using Spellbinders 6 x 6 Matting Basics A.

I cut the frame from the Spellbinders Lovin Diamonds Die Set out of Black Card. I cut the small corner elements from the Spellbinders Blooming Collection Die Set.

I cut a couple of swirls out of Coconut White Card using Sue's Splendid Swirls Die Set. I made a flower using Spellbinders Flower Play Die Set following Sue's tutorial here and here. I added some Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue and some Cosmic Shimmer Iced Snow Glitter Jewels.

I've raised £27 so far from the sale of my sample packs for Headway. Many thanks to those of you who have bought them. More packs on auction on ebay now - click on the ebay link in the top menu to go and have a look.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  22. Hi Julia
    This card is certainly different from the norm. Johns sentiments are first class. I do hope you have a great day in Diss. I wonder if you'll ever get down to Oxfordshire. We have no craft shops really in our Area. Only Hobbycraft and the Range in Swindon.

  26. Hi Julia
    Beautiful card, very striking.
    I love monochrome colours as they always look expensive & really draws the eye in to the main focal point.
    Stunning as always.

  27. Hi Julia

    A shame I don't drive now as Diss is less than an hour away. Quite a drive for you though so I hope the journey was a fairly easy one and that you had an enjoyable day.

    I really like monochrome so this card appeals to me a lot. Those Spellbinders dies are amazing.

    Hugs
