Many Happy Returns

Hi Bloggers.

I'm running my last workshop of the year locally at Yardley Gobion today. I've loaded the dates for next year's workshops at YG Village Hall to the Workshops section and the left-hand side bar of this Blog and to my website here.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I embossed a piece of Coconut White Card using the Creative Expressions Eternal Ivy Embossing Folder. I edged it with Phill Martin Cosmic Shimmer Chic Pumpkin Twinkles and put aside to dry.

I stamped the Stamps to Die For Sweet Sunflowers onto Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with Wow! Golden Flame Embossing Powder. I cut it out using the largest die in Sue Wilson's Maldives Die Set and filled the tram lines in the image with Chic Pumpkin Twinkles. I put aside the dry.

I stamped the sentiment from Phill Martin's Butterfly Elegance Sentiments Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using another die from the Maldives Set. I added it to the image die cut once the Twinkles were dry using 3D Foam.

I cut all 6 dies in Sue's Striped Nastutium Die Set out of Coconut White Card. I added Clear Perfect Medium to all of the open flowers and embossed them with Wow! Golden Flame Embossing Powder. I assembled the flowers and added a Small Black Circle Dazzler to the centres. I cut some leaves out of Black Card using Sue's Olive Branch Die Set.

I assembled the card as shown adding a 5mm Black Pearl to each corner and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.
