Enjoy Your Day

Hi Bloggers.

A big Thank You to John Lockwood for my photos today. I made a few cards at Ally Pally which I gave to him for his last set of shows, but I hadn't taken any photos.So, today you have some posh pics!

I'm heading up to Creative Expressions HQ again today to run a couple of workshops. Unfortunately, John won't be hindering me today as he's busy prepping for his shows on Create & Craft tomorrow.

Here's today's card -

I made a frame from Rich Red Card using Spellbinders 6 x 6 Matting Basics A Die Set. I popped a piece of Coconut White Card behind it that I had run through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Fine Finials Large Embossing Folder.

I stamped the sentiment and the flower from John's Tulip Elements Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival. I coloured the Tulip in with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink and a little Phill Martin Cosmic Shimmer Chic Moss Mica Powder. I cut it out using one of the plain dies from the Spellbinders Oval Floral Die Set. I cut the next sized floral die from the same die set out of Rich Red Card.

I made a flower using Spellbinders Flower Play Die Set and added some Cosmic Shimmer Iced Snow Glitter Jewels using Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue. I tied a bow using Off White Satin Ribbon and made a couple of Decorative Stick Pins using Creative Expressions Stick Pin Elements.

 I assembled the card as shown piercing around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    hi Julia

    lovely card, getting very tempted by the flower die! the colours go so well together.

    pleased to see the date for AP on the left side bar (I'm usually posting from my mobile), Just have to find out what works are planned on the trains as hoping with everything crossed to be able to make it if I can get there, many logistical issues to work through first though!

    Hugs
