Remember

Hi Bloggers.

Thanks for all your lovely comments over the One Day Special. The Platinum really is a great machine.

I'm back on Hochanda on Monday with some more Justrite Stamps and Dies at silly prices. Be sure to have a look. But before that,I have Phill's Craftathon on Sunday. I know that several of you will be there so I'll see you then!

Here's today's card from the One Day Special -

For the background, I used the Spellbinders Elite M-Bossabilities Folder with Coconut White Card through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine. I rubbed Phill Martin Frosty Heather Gilding Wax over the surface and put aside to dry for a few minutes. Once dry, I buffed it up using a dry wet wipe.

I stamped the rose frame and the sentiment from John Lockwood's Rosebud Elements onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I coloured in using Chic Aubergine and Basil Leaf Colour Cloud Blending Ink using a Water Brush (applied from ink on my mat not directly from the pot). I cut it out using scissors.

I cut the largest die in the Spellbinders Fancy Ribbon Threader Die Set together with a die from the Spellbinders Gold Squares One Die Set out of Coconut White Card. I threaded some Light Orchid Satin Ribbon in both of the sizes through the holes and slits as shown.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Light Orchid Satin Ribbon. I cut an accent out of Coconut White Card using Spellbinders Lace Doily Accents Die Set and added a little Purple Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding some 8mm White Pearls and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

I have added my schedule for my local workshops next year to the workshops section of my blog here. You can book via my website here. As well as the regular workshops, I have added master classes in masks, stamping and backgrounds. I'll be starting the year with a big sale and demo day with myself and John Lockwood on Saturday January 9th. Venue - Yardley Gobion Silver Jubilee Hall, just outside Milton Keynes.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  2. Morning Julia, a stunningly beautiful card, love the colour combinations, looks like I will have to look out for the fancy ribbon threader die set.

    As I am down in the South East it is impossible for me to get up to your workshops as much as I would love too, I know everyone will be spoilt and thoroughly enjoy themselves.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

  39. Hi Julia, lovely card an the dies look fab, your shows were great it was really good to see you being able to use the GC plates, as I said the 1st day I had answered someone on the spellbinders Facebook page saying I used the raspberry plate an someone from spellbinders was on my case straight away saying shouldn't be mixing the plates they don't recommend it. But now that I have seen you using them I feel more comfortable about it. I have brought it for my granddaughters birthday tomorrow well today now. Take Care Melody xXx
