Happy Birthday

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

I stamped the sentiment from John Lockwood's Scribble Rose Stamp Set using Perfect Medium. I embossed using Phill Martin's Cosmic Shimmer Graceful Peach Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Triple Floral Die Set and inked through the die with Dried Marigold Distress Ink. I also added some Graceful Peach Twinkles.

I cut the middle sized fancy die from the same die set out of Peach Card and at the emboss stage I added the next smallest die to add some detail. I rubbed Graceful Peach Gilding Wax over, left to dry for a few minutes and buffed up using a dry wet wipe. I a 6 x 6 Matting Basics A die out of Coconut White Card. I ran the piece through the Creative Expressions Fantails Embossing Folder. I added some Graceful Peach Twinkles around the edges.

I cut the largest die of the set out of Peach Card and at the emboss stage I added the next smallest die to add some detail. I rubbed Graceful Peach Gilding Wax over, left to dry for a few minutes and buffed up using a dry wet wipe.

I cut the largest die in the 6 x 6 Matting Basics A out of Coconut White Card and a Spellbinders Grand Squares out of Peach Card, adding Graceful Peach Gilding Wax to the latter.

I made a flower out of Peach Card using Spellbinders Flower Play following Sue's turorial here and here. I added some Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue and some Cosmic Shimmer Iced Snow Glitter Jewels.

I sprayed a piece of White Tulle with Graceful Peach Ink Spray Mist. Once dry, I tied a knot in it and trimmed it a little. I added a couple of Pearl Sprays.

I assembled the card as shown adding some 8mm White Pearls.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  23. Hello Julia and all

    Beautiful card. I love the dies, the colour and your layout. It is going to take a while to get used to you reversing your descriptions (if you know what I mean) but I'm sure it will become usual soon, lol. Thanks for sharing.

    Best wishes

  26. Hi Julia,

    The edging on the dies look a little like lace, all very pretty and appropriate with mother's day coming up as a change of sentiment you'd be ready!
