Red, White & Blue

Hi Bloggers,

To give you a little break from Ethel and Murray (they will be back!), I've made this card just for the blog. I had a die cut (the large blue Fleur De Lis Rectangle) left over from I demo I couldn't do on a show so that was the starting point for this very quick & easy card.



For the background, I popped some white card through the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Regal M-Bossability Folder. I put it through a second time to extend the pattern. I inked around the edges with Barn Door Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.



I cut the largest of the Fleur De Lis Rectangles out of cobalt card. I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Sincere Sentiments Stamp Set using Cobalt Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut if out using the largest but one of the Fleur De Lis Rectangles and inked through the die with the Barn Door Distress Ink. I mounted these 2 rectangles onto my background with 3D Foam Pads.



I made a flower out of red card using the Spellbinders Carnation Creations dies adding a blue gem in the centre. I mounted this onto 3D Foam and added it to the card. The 3D foam makes it easier to add the White Pearl Decorative Stick Pins. I cut 2 leaves out of cobalt card and 2 leaves out of white card using the Spellbinders Damask Accents Die Set. I inked through the die on the white ones with Barn Door Distress Ink.

I finished the card off with some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Berry Red.

All for now.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
