You're the Best

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

I've used up some demo bits on this card 😊.

For the background, I embossed a piece of Coconut White Card with the the Creative Expressions Provencal Lace Embossing Folder.

I spritzed a piece of Watercolour Card with water. I sprinkled Plum Twist and Golden Mint Pixie Powders over and put aside to dry.

I stamped the sentiment from Phill Martin's Butterfly Elegance Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using die #2 from Sue Wilson's Tahiti Die Set. I cut dies #4 and #6 from the same set out of my Pixie Powder background. I cut dies #3 and #4 together out of Coconut White Card, dies #5 and #6 out of Coconut White Card.

I made some flowers out of Coconut White Card and my Pixie Powder background using Sue's Striped Nasturtium Die Set, adding a Small Circle Dazzler to the centres. I cut the Family Tree Die out of Coconut White Card, snipping off the branches to use as leaves. I also cut Sue's Laurel Leaves out of Coconut White Card.

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

  5. Morning Julia, another beautiful card, the colours in the background shout out summer colours that we are all looking forward too, all this damp and cold weather in the winter gets me down.

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