For You

Hi Bloggers.

Sorry I didn't get round to doing the draw for the Blog Candy yesterday. I've done it now and the winner is .................................

Patricia Howarth

Please email me at juliawattscrafts@gmail.com with your address and I'll pop your goodies in the post.
 
Here's today's card -

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Amazing Sentiments Clear Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using the smallest die in the Spellbinders Triple Floral Die Set. I added a 5mm White Pearl to the corners.

I cut the middle sized die from the Spellbinders Labels 46 Decorative Elements out of a paper from Phill Martin's Chic Floral 8 x 8 Paper Pad. There are little petals in the die cut that can be curled up - very pretty.

 I cut the largest die in the set out of Coconut White Card.

I cut the largest die in the Triple Floral Die set out of another paper in Phill's Paper Pad. At the emboss stage I added the next sized die down to give a pretty almost pierced border around the inside of the die cut. I added some 3mm White Pearls.

I cut the largest die out of the Spellbinders 6 x 6 Matting Basics A Die Set out of Coconut White Card adding an 8mm White Pearl to each corner.

I tied a knot in a piece of White Tulle, trimming the ends a little. I tied a bow using Off White Satin Ribbon. I also tied a bow out of some Peach/White Baker's Twine from the Pastel Set. I made a flower using Spellbinders Flower Play Die Set and the same papers I used before.

I made a couple of decorative stick pins using elements from the Creative Expressions range - the teardrop beads are Frosted Peach.

I'll be demonstrating Sue Wilson Dies on the Craft World Stand (B22) at the NEC tomorrow - please come and say hello if you're attending the show.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
