Live for today

Hi Bloggers.

Sue Wilson & I went up to the Summer Crafting Show at Doncaster Racecourse yesterday. We had a great day and met some lovely crafters.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I spritzed a piece of Milk Card with water and popped it through the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Decorative Applause 3D Embossing Folder. I rubbed Phill Martin's Cosmic Shimmer Chic Viola Gilding Wax over the surface (Creative Expressions now do Sponge Daubers if you don't like getting your fingers dirty). I left it a few minutes to dry and then buffed it up using a dry wet wipe. I added some Cream Pearl Corners.

I cut the middle die in the Spellbinders Decorative Labels 46 Die Set out of new Wisteria Card and added some 8mm Cream Pearls.

I stamped the sentiment from John Lockwood's Fern Frames Clear Stamp Set using Blue Violet Archival. I cut it out using the smallest die in the Spellbinders Floral Assortment Die Set and inked through the die with Milled Lavender Distress Ink using a Smoothie.

I assembled the card as shown piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler.

Don't forget to stop by later to see if you've won last Friday's Card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  13. Morning Julia, Another beautiful card and gorgeous, gorgeous colours.
    So glad you had a good time at Doncaster yesterday, I was due to go on Saturday (tickets and train tickets already got) but I wasn't feeling well at all and didn't want the risk of becoming worse so far away from home, so I watched some of the programmes from C&C at Doncaster.

    When I clicked onto your inkyfingerzone this morning,McAfee came up with a Warning, do you really want to go there, so I did Google search again, clicked onto inkyfingerzone and that was OK, but when I clicked on make a comment, the warning came up again, I had to click on 'Accept Risk' !!!!! don't know what's going on there ??
    Lots of love from Patricia xx

  22. Hi Julia,
    Gorgeous card today, love the embossing folder, already have the Decorative labels 46 dies.
    Had a fabulous day at Doncaster yesterday, despite the fact it took us over an hour to go the last mile, because of a traffic hold up going to a classic car show.
    It was a lovely surprise meeting you, Sue & Phill ( although I have met you before at S T in Leeds) would have loved to have a longer chat but appreciate you must get stopped a lot. Hope you had a great day!
    Love Janet x

  25. Hello Julia and all.

    I think this is a beautiful card. I love the Decorative Applause Embossing folder (so pleased I bought it) and the Pearl Corners are stunning with it. The Decorative Labels 46 die is so pretty and such a lovely colour. I'm building my collection of Foundation Card so this is one more for the list. Thanks for sharing.

    I'm pleased Sue and yourself had a nice day at Doncaster, I bet many people were surprised to see you both.

    Best wishes.
