Diamond Borders

Hi Bloggers.

Back to a Pick of the Day Card today.

For the background, I ran some Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Ornate Diamonds Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern and then edged with Aqua Adirondack Dye Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I cut 2 borders out of blue card using the Spellbinders Diamond Strips & Accents CFT die set. I inked through the die with the Aqua ink. I folded and tucked them and added some 5mm and 8mm White Pearls.

I stamped the image from the Creative Expressions Lacy Medallions Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out with scissors and edged it with a black marker pen so no white edges showed. I then swiped some Aqua ink on to a tile, added a little water to my paint brush and then painted in some of the areas of the medallion.

I cut a Labels 28 out of white card and inked through the die with Aqua. I cut a larger Labels 28 out of blue card and again inked through the die with Aqua.

I tied a messy bow using 3 lengths of Sky Blue American Seam Binding and added a Frosted Blue Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding some more 8mm White pearls in the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Summer Blue around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
