As you've probably guessed from the title, we're back to Ethel & Murray today. I have a date for the show for early July but not confirmed yet. I'll update the sidebar as soon as I know for definite.
Here's today's card -
Poor Ethel has been hit with a golf ball! It seems that Murray's not as good at golf as he thinks he is - sound familiar to anyone?
The backing paper is from Paper Cellar. I stamped the image from the Creative Expressions Fore Stamp Set using Coffee Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set again using Coffee Archival and embossed with clear powder. I didn't ink around the image and sentiment panels on this one as I wanted it to look clean.
I cut 2 x 1" wide strips of Creative Expressions Foundations Paper and cut a pattern in it using Spellbinders Edgeabilities Classic Postage Stamp.
I assembled the card as shown. I pierced around the edges with my Tim Holtz Design Ruler and added some buttons from my stash threaded with Baker's Twine from the Vintage Set.
I've had some enquiries about the golf stamps in this series so I've ordered some for my Amazon Store - will let you know when they arrive.
Also, if you're reading this post early enough, one of the shows from last Friday is being repeated at 7am today.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

I do like the way you have used the border and covered the corner with the sentiment saves trying to match them up very clever

Oh this made me laugh! Fabulous as usual Julia. Michelle x
ReplyDeleteLove the card and layout but again still not a convert to the stamps!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this card Julia - the colours are really great with this stamp. I made one of the golfing ones for a colleague at work when he retired. The latest one I did was the Ethel one with the tattoo for a friend and used a leopard print paper in the background. They were both really thrilled. These stamps are great - I have made several cards with them now.
