In Joy or Sadness

Hi Bloggers.

Had a fab day with 2 full workshops at Creative Expressions HQ yesterday. I'll be repeating the same workshops at the same venue on Tuesday 28th April. Please click on the Workshop link in the top menu to see the projects and how to book.

I'm heading up North again this afternoon to Hull for a demo at Strikes Garden Centre, Woodmansy, Beverley tomorrow 10am till 4pm. Please stop by if you're in the area.

 Here's today's card -

For the background, I stamped the lovely corner from the Justrite Flower For Your Thoughts Stamp Set around a piece of Milk Card using Plum Archival. I then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Rambling Blossoms Embossing Folder and inked around the edges with Seedless Preserves Distress Ink.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Plum Archival. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 29 and inked through the die with Seedless Preserves. I cut 2 Justrite Flourish Two Dies out of Rich Plum Card and hooked them around both sides of the Labels 29 Die Cut. I cut the largest die from the Spellbinders Marvelous Squares Die Set out of Rich Plum Card and rubbed Phill Martin Cosmic Shimmer Vintage Lavender Gilding Wax over the surface. I left it for a few minutes to dry and then buffed it up using a dry wet wipe.

I tied a bow using Cream Crochet Ribbon and added a Lavender Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding a Cream 8mm Pearl to each corner.

Thanks for stopping by.
