Just Because

Hi Bloggers.

TV shows today at 11am with Lottie and 3pm with Zoe - although that may change! In the shows today I have some of my favourite stamp sets from this year and one from last year - all easy to use as no colouring in required. The main aim of today's shows is to show off some of our lovely Cosmic Shimmer Embossing Powders with the stamps - let's hope I manage it!

Here's today's card -

For the background, I randomly stamped the swirly image from the Creative Expressions Floral Silhouette Stamp Set using Rust Adirondack Dye Ink. I made sure it was dry and then popped it through the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Elegance M-Bossabilities Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern and then inked around the edges with Rust using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the main image from the same stamp set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Ancient Copper Metallic Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Fancy Ribbon Threader and inked through the die with Rust.

I threaded some London Tan American Seam Binding through the slits. I tied a bow with Cream Satin Edged Organza Ribbon and another with the London Tan American Seam Binding. I added a Light Brown Dazzler.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Trees of Imagination Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with the Copper Powder. I cut it out using another die from the Fancy Ribbon Threader die set and inked through the die with Rust.

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

Hope you can join me later and perhaps email in?

Thanks for stopping by.
