Always in Style

Hi Bloggers.

Thank you for all your comments and emails yesterday - much appreciated. Welcome to my new followers.

Today's card was the first demo yesterday.

For the background, I ran the Couture Creations Ambrosia Embossing Folder through the Grand Calibur with some Coconut White Card. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern. I wasn't too bothered about it lining up as my ribbon was going to cover it. I inked around the edges with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the image from the Stylish Ladies Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured her in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks and added a little Pearl Shine from the Metallics Drawing Inks Set to the feather in her hair. I cut the image out using Spellbinders Scalloped Labels One and inked through the die with Victorian Velvet.

I ran some Rose Sheer Wrinkle Edge Ribbon down the length of my card and then added some White Crochet Ribbon on top (I have some for sale here on ebay). I tied a bow with the White Crochet Ribbon. I added a piece cut from the Spellbinders Ribbon Buckles Die Set, a Pink Dazzler and a couple of White Pearl Decorative Stick Pins.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set again using Jet Black Archival and embossed with clear powder. I cut it out using Spellbinder Labels Twenty-Eight and inked through the die with Victorian Velvet.

I assembled the card as shown adding a Pearl Swirl and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Vintage Pink around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
