Live Life like there's no Tomorrow

Hi Bloggers.

This card was a demo I didn't quite manage to finish in last weeks shows. I know orange isn't everyone's favourite colour but let's face it if I made every card from a small set of the most popular colours then I think this would be a pretty boring blog! Anyways, it's good to challenge yourself with colours that are out of your comfort zone. Try it - you may find yourself a new favourite!

For the background, I spritzed some Coconut White Card with Cosmic Shimmer Marigold Vintage Mister. I then inked through the Floral Vines Mask with Wild Honey Distress Ink moving the mask around so that the whole area was covered.

I stamped Michelle from the Fashionista Best Friends 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 then cut her out using Spellbinders Lattice Rectangles. I inked through the die with Wild Honey using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with clear powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Fancy Framed Tags Two and inked through the die with Wild Honey.

I tied a messy bow using 3 lengths of American Seam Binding in Chalk White. I made a flower using the Creative Expressions Floral Embossing Folder (see my tutorial here ). I added a couple of White Pearl Decorative Stick Pins to the back of the bow.

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

Thanks for stopping by.
