Hi Bloggers.

I think we could all do with a bit of sunshine - makes us feel happier I think. Today's card is full of sunshine in a lovely yellow.

For the background, I ran some Milk Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations One World Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern. I forgot that I wanted to use the Rose Background Stamp, so I did this after embossing with the stamp in my hand and with Mustard Seed Distress Ink. I then inked around the edges with Mustard Seed using Cut n Dry Foam.

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 Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used Sunflower from the Summer Fayre Set, Umber 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 Grand Decorative Circles One dies and inked through the die with Mustard Seed. I cut a mat out using the next size of the Grand Decorative Circles One and again inked through the die with Mustard Seed.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with clear powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 25 and inked through the die with Mustard Seed.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Cream Silky Crush Ribbon, added a Fancy Pearl Embellishment and a couple of Decorative Stick Pins.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Golden Pearl around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
