Shop Till Your Drop

Hi Bloggers.

Lovely to see so many of you at the Kettering Show over the weekend. I had a lovely time especially yesterday when Leonie arrived to demo on the table next to me. She is such an inspiration - so talented. Some fab samples on display. Of course, nowadays these shows are full of friends and it's so good to see them all. Sue Wilson, Sam Poole, Pam Smith, Hels Sheridan, Karen Lines, The Stamp Addicts Girls, The Glitter Glirls, Dawn Bibby, Leandra, Ali Reeve to name a few. Watch out for Ally Pally next year (13th & 14th April) when we'll all meet up again.

Another girly card today.

For the background, I spritzed a piece of Coconut White Card with Cosmic Shimmer Egyptian Blue Vintage Mister. I then inked through the Floral Lace Mask with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the image (Chloe) from the Fashionista : A Day Shopping 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 Labels Four Small. I inked through the die with Tumbled Glass. I cut a mat out of blue card using Labels Four.

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

I tied a bow using Blue Sheer Dots Ribbon and tied another bow with Light Blue Crochet Ribbon. I made a flower using the Creative Expressions Floral Embossing Folder (see my tutorial here). I added a couple of Crystal Decorative Stick Pins.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Summer Blue around the edges and added a 5mm White Pearl in each corner.

Just a reminder that Sue is on Create & Craft various times over the next 4 days with a 4 Day Deal - Justrite & Heartfelt Creations dies and stamps. There's sure to be some fab demos.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
