At the Ballet

Hi Bloggers.

I can have a bit of a lie in today as my first Pick of the Week Show isn't till 4pm. This is another of my favourite samples from the show.

I stamped the image from the Creative Expressions At the Ballet Stamp Set on to Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut the image out using the largest of the Spellbinders Blossom Five dies and inked through the die with Faded Jeans Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I cut the smallest of the Grand Decorative Circles One out of blue card and inked through the die with Faded Jeans.

For the background I ran some white card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Seedling Nouveau Embossing Folder. I popped it though a second time to extend the pattern. I edged it with Faded Jeans.

I cut the middle 3 sizes of the Blossom Five dies out of white card twice. I spritzed them with water to break down the fibres of the card and scrunched each piece up. I opened them up and layered them on top on one another and then pierced a hole in the centre and added a blue brad. I then scruched them up again. I added some Faded Jeans to the edges of the petals.

I cut some 'leaves' from the Spellbinders Venetian Motifs set and inked through the die with Faded Jeans.

I cut 4 corners out of blue card from the Spellbinders Venetian Accents die set and assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Cosmic Pearl (white) around the edges and in the centre of each corner.

Hope you can join me later on today at 4pm and 6pm.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
