Hi Bloggers.
I loaded some new Couture Creations dies onto my website last night including some of the butterfly ones I had on my last show. Please scroll down to the previous post to see the details. Be warned - not much stock!
Here's today's card -
For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Wild Roses Embossing Folder.
I cut the outer die from Sue Wilson's Stacked Diamond Striplet Die Set out of Black Card. I cut both dies together out of Coconut White Card and glued the 2 die cuts together using Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue.
I cut Sue's Petite Arched Adornment Die twice out of Black Card. I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Fabulous Sentiments Clear Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using the smallest die in Sue's Montreal Die Set. I cut the smallest die in Sue's Toronto Die Set.
I cut a couple of leaves out of Black Card using Sue's Maidenhair Fern Die Set. I made some flowers using Sue's Perfect Peony Complete Petals and Dandelion Clocks Die Sets. I added a White 8mm Pearl to the centre of each flower.
I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearl Corners and piercing around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteHi Julia
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card as always & I especially love the monochrome look, which I think looks elegant & opulent & one of those expensive cards you would get from a little craft boutique shop.
Love everything about this stunning card.
