Hi Bloggers.
This card was another demo from the shows on the 21st -
As usual, starting with the background, I spritzed through the Delicate Mask onto some Coconut White Card using Cosmic Shimmer Antique Rose Vintage Mister. I dried it with my heat tool and then inked through the Heart Confetti Mask with Dusty Concord Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. Next, holding the crackle stamp from the Creative Expressions Textures Stamp Set in my hand, I randomly stamped sections of it using Aged Mahogany Distress Ink. Then I repeated the process with the script stamp from the same stamp set using Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. I finished the background off by inking around the edges with Aged Mahogany using Cut n Dry Foam.
I cut the largest of the new Spellbinders Stately Circles and inked through the die with Aged Mahogany. I stamped a flower from the Creative Expressions Funky Floral Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Amethyst Mist Lustre Embossing Powder from the Pinks & Purples Set. I cut it out using the next size down of Stately Circles and inked through the die with Aged Mahogany. I stamped a smaller flower, cut it out with scissors and added it to the larger flower with 3D Foam. I added some 3mm White Pearls as shown.
I put 'birthday' and 'wishes' from the same stamp set on to my block and stamped with Perfect Medium. I embossed with the Amethyst Mist Lustre Powder and cut it out using one of the new Spellbinders Framed Tags One dies. I inked through the die with Aged Mahogany and added a bow made with May Arts Two Tone Ribbon.
I assembled the card as shown adding some Pearl Swirls. I inked around the edges of my white mat with Aged Mahogany before adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.
