Shop Till You Drop

Hi Bloggers.

Today I have a card featuring one of the images from the new Creative Expressions Fashionista Stamp Sets. This young lady is called Hannah and she's from the Fashionista : A Day Shopping Stamp Set.

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern. I inked around the edges with Mustard Seed Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the image using Jet Black Archival and embossed using Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured the image in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I cut the image out using Spellbinders Large Labels and inked through the die with Mustard Seed Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I cut the largest of the Card Creator Polka Dots Dies out of yellow card. I cut the largest of the Card Creator Fancy Ribbon Threader dies out of a pale yellow card and threaded some Chalk White American Seam Binding through it.

I tied a messy bow using 3 lengths of the American Seam Binding. I spritzed it with some water, scrunched it up and dried it with my heat tool. I made a flower out of white card, the Creative Expressions Floral Embossing Folder and Mustard Seed Distress Ink. You can see how to do this in my Flower Tutorial on YouTube.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set again using Jet Black Archival and embossed with the clear powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Ribbon Banners and inked through the die with Mustard Seed.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  2. Hi Julia, love this card, it is really girly. Just don't know if I can get away with the usual "no they are not new stamps, I have had them ages". Bx
