You Amaze Me

Hi Bloggers.

I managed to get approx half of my orders out yesterday. I will try and get the rest sent out today.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I stamped the Justrite Blooming Vines Background onto Black Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS True White Detail Embossing Powder. I coloured in using CS Summer Shades Mica Spray Set.

I made a frame out of Coconut White card using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Rectangles and Double Pierced Rectangles Set B. I added it to my background using 3D Foam Tape.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite For All You Do Vintage Labels Three onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using Sue's St.Lucia Die Set.

I made a couple of flowers out of Coconut White and Black Card using Sue's Exquisite Poppy Die Set, using a Pigma Micron Pen to draw the veins in the petals through the dies. I cut some leaves out of Black Card using Sue's Bold Scrolled Vine Die Set.

I assembled my card as shown adding an 8mm Black Pearl to the corners of my frame and mats of Black and Coconut White Card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    Well done Tina T - you'll wonder however you managed without pixie powders once you get started with them - they're so amazing and versatile..
