Brewing up!

Hi Bloggers.

A male card today from the shows tomorrow.

Busy background on this one - for a change! I started with a piece of Milk Card and I inked through the Metal Effect Mask with Black Soot Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. Using the stamps in my hand I randomly stamped the Newsprint, Plaid and Bubbles stamps using Black Soot. Job done!

I wrapped some Black/Ivory Grosgrain Ribbon around the centre of the card and then stuck some Idea-ology Nostalgic Tissue Tape along the centre. I pierced some holes and added some Idea-ology Custom Fasteners. These are really cool because the brads come blank and you choose a sticker to go on them and then add a bubble sticker if you want to.

I stamped the image from the Creative Expressions Cheers Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I decided not to colour it in. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 28 and inked through the die with Black Soot using Cut n Dry Foam. I cut a larger Labels 28 out of black card.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Matting Basics B and inked through the die with Black Soot. I cut a black mat out using Spellbinders Matting Basics A.

I coloured some Creative Expressions Faux Screw Brads using a black promarker and added them to the corners. I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Black Pearl around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
