Test of Your Skill

Hi Bloggers,

I have another Ethel & Murray card today. Well actually, it's Murray and his mates playing golf.



I stamped the image from the Creative Expressions Fore Stamp set using Coffee Archival and embossed using Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels Twenty-Two. I inked while still in the die using Vintage Photo Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.



I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set again using the Coffee Archival and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. I trimmed it with my paper trimmer and inked the edges with Vintage Photo. I matted it on to rust card and then dark brown card.



I cut a border out of white card using the Spellbinders Edgeabilities Classic Ric-Rac - I used the edge and an insert from that set. I inked through the die with Vintage Photo. I cut another border out of rust card with the edge from the Classic Bracket set and the insert from the Classic Postage Stamp set. I put a strip of dark brown card behind the insert to make it stand out more. I added the white border to the backing paper (Creative Expressions Foundations Dot and Dash). I ran a piece of Hi-Tack Tape down the edge of the border and then ruffled some Chalk White American Seam Binding down it. I added the brown border. I tied a small-ish bow out of 2 lengths of the ribbon and added a button to the centre with a little Baker's Twine from the Earthtones Set.

I added the image panel to the card with a few more buttons from my stash.

I matted on to rust, dark brown and then white card. I finished off with some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Choco Brown. Finished card size is 8" x 8".

Hope you like this one.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
