Love You

Hi Bloggers.

I'm expecting a mixed reaction to this card. I'm not really keen on it myself but I wanted to use the A4 Ripple Scallop Mask, the Red Pepper Adirondack and Gold Embossing Powder. I think you could use this card for Valentine's Day or a Ruby Wedding Anniversary.

So, for the background, I inked up the A4 Ripple Scallop Mask with Perfect Medium, popped it down onto some Coconut White Card (which had been dusted with my Anti-Static Bag) and ran it through the Grand Calibur. The ink transferred to the debossed pattern. I added some Cosmic Shimmer Bright Gold Metallic Embossing Powder and heat set it. I popped it through the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Elite M-Bossabilities Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern - the embossing powder does not crack. I then inked all over with Red Pepper Adirondack Dye Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I dusted another piece of card with my Anti-Static Bag and stamped the image from the Creative Expressions Floral Silhouette Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with the gold powder. I cut it out using a die from the Fancy Postage Edge die set and inked through the die with Red Pepper. I cut the largest die from the set out of gold card. I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Trees of Imagination Stamp Set again using Perfect Medium and embossed with the Gold Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 24 and inked through the die with Red Pepper.

I assembled the card as shown, wrapping some Lipstick Red American Seam Binding around the background and adding a bow.

I added some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Olympic Gold around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.
