Hi Bloggers.
Here's today's card -
For the background, I randomly stamped one of the swirl stamps from the Creative Expressions Handbags Galore Stamp Set using Lavender Organza Paris Trunk Dye Ink Pad. I made sure the ink was dry and then popped it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Lovingly Baroque Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern and then inked around the edges with Lavender Organza using Cut n Dry Foam.
I stamped the image from the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured it in using Pink Ultra and Violet Frost Mica Powders from the Garden Flora Cosmic Shimmer Mica Spray Set. I cut it out using the 2 largest dies in the Spellbinders Exquisite Circles die set and inked through with Lavender Organza. I cut a Picot Edge Circle out of Lavender Card.
I cut 2 Scalloped Labels One out of white card and at the emboss stage I added the Couture Creations Intrinsic Embossing Folder. I inked through the die with Lavender Organza - I inked all over, not just around the edges.
I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with clear powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Fancy Framed Tags One and inked through the die with Lavender Organza. I added a couple of 5mm White Pearls.
I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges and a few more white pearls in the top right-hand corner.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.
