It's time to Bloom

Hi Bloggers.

Thanks for all the comments yesterday. No rest for me though. I've just been given the Toolshed show on Sunday 18th November so yesterday I started prepping that. I also had a lot of orders to catch up on from my Amazon Store and I had to go food shopping.


Here's today's card.

For the background, I spritzed some Milk Card with Cosmic Shimmer Tarnished Gold Vintage Mister. I dried it with my heat tool and then randomly stamped a flower from the Creative Expressions Whimsical Floral Stamp Set using Peach Bellini Adirondack Dye Ink and a swirl from the same stamp set using Caramel Adirondack Dye Ink. I made sure that the ink was dry and then popped it inside the Couture Creations Lovingly Baroque Embossing Folder and through the Grand Calibur. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern and then inked around the edges with Caramel ink.

I cut the smallest of the Spellbinders Grand Decorative Ovals One out of Milk Card. At the embossing stage I added the Small Polka Dots Mask. I inked through the die with Caramel ink. I cut the dressmaker's dummy from the Spellbinders French Frills die set out of Foundations Double-sided Paper - once on one side of the paper and once on the other side of the paper. I inked through the die on both of them with Caramel ink. The idea was to use a different outer to the inner of the dummy - you get a spare set for another card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Whimsical Floral Stamp Set using Caramel ink and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 28 and inked through the die with Caramel.

I made 3 flowers using Spellbinders Spiral Blossom 4 - one I spritzed with Tarnished Gold before cutting and then inked with Peach Bellini before rolling up, another I inked through the die with Caramel ink before rolling and the last one I made from Foundations paper. I cut some leaves from the Foundations paper using the Spellbinders Botanical Swirls & Accents die set and the French Frills die set.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
