A True Friend

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine with the Spellbinders Regal M-Bossabilities Folder. I inked all over with Phill Martin Cosmic Shimmer Frosty Sky Colour Cloud Blending Ink using a Smoothie. Once dry, I sanded it using a Sanding Block to reveal the white core.

For the border, I used the cutting edge die from the Spellbinders Classic Postage Stamp Edgeabilities Die Set along both of the long edges of a piece of Coconut White Card. I then ran the piece through the Platinum with the Creative Expressions Fantails Embossing Folder. I rubbed Phill Martin Frosty Sky Gilding Wax over the surface. Once dry, I buffed it up using a dry wet wipe.

I stamped the sentiment from John Lockwood's Rosebud Elements Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Cobalt Archival. I cut it out using a die from the Spellbinders Fancy Ribbon Threader die set and a Spellbinders Gold Rectangles One Die. I threaded a piece of Bluebird Satin Ribbon through the slits.

I cut the largest 2 dies from the Spellbinders Fancy Postage Edge Die Set out of Coconut White Card and inked through the dies with Frosty Sky Colour Cloud using a Smoothie. I threaded some of the narrow ribbon from the Bluebird Satin Ribbon Pack through the holes in the larger die cut - takes a while but I think it's worth it.

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.

As it's December, Christmas month, and I'm getting bogged down with card samples again, I thought I would giveaway a card in every order placed on my website this month. You will have to ask me for it in the comments box at checkout though as I realise that not everyone will want one. If you forget, email me at juliawattscrafts@gmail.com, quoting your order number if possible, and I'll do my best to send you a card. I will still continue to do the weekly giveaways here on Fridays and on Facebook on Mondays.

Also, as it's Christmas month, there's 25% off all the products in the Christmas Category on my website till midnight Boxing Day. Discount will be automatically applied at checkout. Don't forget to have a peek at the Deal of the Day, Clearance and Pre-loved sections while you're there!
