Hi Bloggers.

I'm at Creative Expressions HQ today running a workshop this afternoon. John Lockwood is there running a workshop this morning. For details of my next workshop at Creative Expressions, please see the end of this post.

Here's today's card -

I started by cutting an aperture in a piece of Sky Blue Card using the largest tag die in the Couture Creations 2 Tags & Flower Pot Die Set. I placed the Sky Blue Card on a piece of Cobalt Card and placed the smaller tag die in the centre of the aperture. I removed the Sky Blue Card and cut the smaller tag. I cut the Couture Creations Nostalgia Die from a piece of Coconut White Card. I glued it into place on another piece of Coconut White Card using Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue, so that it could be seen through both apertures. I secured both pieces of Blue Card using 3D Foam Tape.

I cut the Couture Creations Love Everyday Essentials Die out of Coconut White Card. I pressed Clear Perfect Medium into it, added Phill Martin Cosmic Shimmer Decadent Denim Embossing Powder and heat set. I added more Perfect Medium, more powder and heat set again.

 I cut the Couture Creations Edith Border out of Coconut White Card and rubbed some Decadent Denim Gilding Wax over.

I cut the Couture Creations Edith & Baby Die Set out of Coconut White Card and again rubbed some Decadent Denim Gilding Wax over them.

I assembled the card as shown adding some 3mm and 5mm White Pearls to the butterflies, some Pearl Corners and piercing around the edges.
