In the Garden of Life

Hi Bloggers.

A very simple card today from Monday's Justrite shows on Hochanda.

 For the background, I inked up the Justrite Diamond Filigree Background with Lemon Meringue Colour Cloud applied using a Smoothie. I then added some Basil Leaf Colour Cloud. I stamped onto Coconut White Card.

I stamped the focal image from the Justrite Hope & Love Vintage 8 & 9 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 largest die in the Justrite Vintage Labels 8 Die Set and inked through the diw with Lemon Meringue Colour Cloud using a Smoothie.

I coloured the rose in using the Lemon Meringue and Basil Leaf Colour Cloud by dabbing some ink onto my Craft Sheet and picking it up using a Waterbrush.

I added some Lemon Meringue Ink to some Blue White American Seam Binding and then added a little Basil Leaf Colour Cloud. I used this inked ribbon to tie a bow and added a Small Fancy Pearl Embellishment.

I assembled the card as shown adding some 5mm White Pearls and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.


Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    Hi Julia. This is a lovely card using soft colours. Interesting how you've changed the seam binding so it appears to be a beautiful ribbon bow. X
