Flowers are the Music of Life

Hi Bloggers.

Thanks for all your kind wishes re Kathryn over the last couple of days. We had a lovely but tiring day getting her moved in on Saturday. We left her unpacking loads of boxes on Saturday night. I can tell you, I hope she brings back less that we took there when she moves out next June!

I'm off to spend to some time with my dear friend Sue Wilson so that will keep me occupied for today. We're prepping for some Spellbinders Shows this week and packing for Ally Pally at the weekend.

Here's today's card with a bit of metal on it.

The background was made by running some Milk Card through the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Ornamental Iron Embossing Folder. I edged it with Vintage Photo Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I cut a piece of Aluminium Foil in half. Using my Alcohol Ink Applicator Tool I added some Butterscotch, Terracotta and Sunshine Yellow Alcohol Ink. When dry I ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Floral Vines Mask. I sanded it a little to reveal the Aluminium core.

I cut a Spelbinders Fancy Postage Edge out of brown card. I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Button Florals Stamp Set using Coffee Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it our using the Spellbinders Fancy Ribbon Threader Die Set. I threaded some American Seam Binding in London Tan through the slots in the Ribbon Threader Die Cut. I attached the die cut to the Fancy Postage Edge die cut using 3d foam pads and wrapped the ribbon around the back.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Choco Brown.

Just a heads up - I've listed loads of Wood Mounted Stamps on eBay starting at 99p each (click on the link in the right-hand sidebar to take you there).

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
