Wishing You the Happiest of Days

Hi Bloggers.

Another purple card today -

The background is from a demo, using an old favourite technique by Tim Holtz. I scrunched up a piece of Milk Card, openend it back up and rubbed my Seedless Preserves Distress Ink Pad over the peaks. I misted with water, left it a few minutes and then ironed with my encaustic iron. I then randomly stamped the Happy Birthday and cherry blossom branch from John Lockwood's Cherry Blossom Elements Stamp Set, again using Seedless Preserves.

I cut the largest die in the Spellbinders Triple Floral Die Set together with a die from the Spellbinders 6 x 6 Matting Basics B. At the emboss stage, I removed the Matting Basics Die and added the next sized die in the Triple Floral Die Set.

I stamped the sentiment from John Lockwood's Daisy Chain Elements Stamp Set using Plum Archival. I cut it out using the smallest die in the Spellbinders Floral Assortment Die Set and inked through the die with Seedless Preserves. I cut the next sized die out of Rich Plum Card.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Antique White Satin Ribbon and another using 3 lengths of Raisin Satin Ribbon. I added a Dazzler Setting and a Purple Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding some 5mm Cream Pearls, some Cream Pearl Corners and piercing around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.
