Hi Bloggers.
Here's today's card -
For the background, I simply ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Walrus & Carpenter Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern ans then inked around the edges with Festive Berries Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.
I cut the smallest of the Spellbinders Grand Stately Circles and inked through the die with Festive Berries. I cut the largest of the Spellbinders Stately Circles and at the emboss stage added the Delicate Mask. I inked through the die with Festive Berries.
I stamped one of the large heart images from the Creative Expressions Hearts Entwined Stamp Set twice using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut them out with scissors and went around the edges with a black marker pen to hide any white bits.
I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, again using Jet Black Archival and embossed with clear powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 22 and inked through the die with Festive Berries. I cut the middle size of the Spellbinders Decorative Labels 22 and inked through the die with Festive Berries.
I tied a bow using Rose Sheer Wrinkled Edge Ribbon and added a Black Dazzler.
I assembled the card as shown adding some 5mm Black Pearls and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Vintage Pink around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

ReplyDeletePretty card Julia. I wish I could run to the Grand dies, they do 'make' a card, don't they?
ReplyDeleteHi Julia
ReplyDeleteBeautiful just beautiful what else can I say except many thanks once again for such excellent instructions. Stamping has never been my No. 1 thing but I am really tempted to have another go and dig out my stamps.
