Live Laugh Love

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Heart Lattice Embossing Folder.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Live Laugh Love Sentiments Clear Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using a die from Sue Wilson's St. Kitts Die Set. I cut some mats out of Black and Coconut White Card using Sue's St. Lucia Die Set and stacked them all together using 3D Foam Pads.

I cut a pair of leaves out of Black Card using Sue's Maidenhair Fern Die Set.

I stamped some of the flowers from the Creative Expressions Shaded Peony Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. Using templates (the waste from some previously cut flowers), I cut the stamped flowers out using the Perfect Peony Complete Petals Die Set. I shaped them a little using a Paper Shaping Tool and a Moulding Mat and added some 3mm, 5mm and 8mm White Pearls to the centres.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearl Corners and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
