For Your Special Day

Hi Bloggers.

First, I'd like to give out shout out to my friend Tracey who works at Creative Expressions HQ and has just started a blog. Please pop over  to have a look here. I'm sure she would love some new followers.

Another Pick of the Day card today. I am scratching around trying to find cards to share at the moment ahead of my shows on 11th - hope you don't mind.

For the background, I ran a piece of Foundations Shades Paper through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Pastorale Embossing Folder. The paper was wider than the folder. I ruffled some Blue White American Seam Binding down 2 sides.

I used the largest and the next but one largest of the Spellbinders Exquisite Circles dies to cut some Coconut White Card. At the emboss stage, I added the Small Polka Dots Mask and inked through the die with Purple Twilight Adirondack Dye Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I cut a smaller motif from the Spellbinders Puzzle Effect Cut, Fold & Tuck die set using the Foundations Paper and inked through the die with Purple Twilight. I folded & tucked and added a 5mm White Pearl.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Fanciful Phrases Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Silver Shine Metallic Embossing Powder. I cut it out using the tag die from the Spellbinders French Frills Die Set and inked through the die with Purple Twilight.

I assembled the card as shown adding a Pearl Swirl and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
