Simply Fabulous

Hi Bloggers.

There's quite a lot going on in this card. Once again, it's one that I'm not really sure about but it was shown on Sue's Pick of the Day so I'd thought I'd share it anyway.

For the background, I ran some Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Radiant Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern.

I stamped the image from the Creative Expressions Gala Event Stamp Set using Plum Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured it in using Aged Mahogany Distress Ink and then cut it out leaving a small white border all around it.

I cut a Spellbinders Back to Basics Hexagon from black card. At the emboss stage I added the Small Polka Dots Mask. I cut some Venetian Accents borders and glued a couple of sections to each side of the hexagon.

I cut a Labels Twenty-Eight out of burgundy card. At the emboss stage I added the Trellis Mask.

I cut a branch out of black card using the Cherry Blossoms set. I cut lots of flowers out of white card and inked though the dies with Aged Mahogany.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set again using Plum Archival and embossed with clear powder. I cut it out using Back to Basics Tags and inked through the die with Aged Mahogany. I added a bow of Baker's Twine from the Vintage Set.

I cut a mask out of white card using the Venetian Accents die set. I inked through the die with Aged Mahogany.

I cut a couple of little motifs out of black card using the Venetian Motifs die set and popped a dot of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Black Pearl in the centre of each.

I finished the card of with some more dots of Black Pearl PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
