Hi Bloggers.
Thanks for your emails to the studio yesterday and for your comments here on the blog. Always greatly appreciated. I think I may have got myself a bit mixed up and given the wrong sizes for the Couture Creations Embossing Folders - they're approximately 6 1/4" x 4 3/4", sorry if I misled anyone.
Another shaped card today - I do like these.
I've used Milk Card again for this card. I stamped the image from the Creative Expressions Elegant Ladies Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured her in using Marigold, Scarlet Flame and Dark Spice from the Autumn Shades Set and Warm Delight from the Skin Tones Set. I cut her out using the smallest of the Spellbinders Grand Decorative Ovals One dies and inked through the die with Fired Brick Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.
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 Labels 25 and inked through the die with Fired Brick. I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Cream Silky Crush Ribbon and added a Red Dazzler.
I cut the second largest Spellbinders Grand Decorative Circles One. At the emboss stage I added the Spellbinders Garden Lattice A4 M-Bossability Folder and then inked through the die with Fired Brick. I cut the largest Grand Decorative Circle and again inked through the die with Fired Brick - so pretty!
I assembled the card as shown.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

Hi Julia, shows were great, loved the cards and demos. Love this card, the shaped cards are fabulous. Bx
ReplyDeleteHi Julia. Ifs I always had one of your shows to rush back to when I do a supermarket shop I would save a ton of money! I had so little time yesterday I bought only what was on my list and fled home. Normally I end up with twice as much as was on my shopping list and take twice as long in the supermarket. But I made it with seconds to spare and the shows were great, the demos fab and the stamps are soooo nice. The cards are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy Sunday Love Annie
Gorgeous card Julia, loved the shows yesterday
