Friends are a Wonderful Gift

Hi Bloggers.

Just to let you know that my shows on 23rd Feb are still going ahead, it's just the March 1st shows that were cancelled. As always, my TV dates are in the left-hand sidebar of this blog.

I'm off to the Trade Show at the NEC early tomorrow morning. I'm there till Tuesday demonstrating on the Creative Expressions Stand. I may not be able to post any Amazon orders till Wednesday - sorry about that. I will be scheduling my posts over those 3 days - hopefully Blogger will behave itself.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I stamped one of the large flourishes from the Eco Green Embellishing Flourishes Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Intrinsic Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern.

I cut the largest of the Spellbinders Decorative Labels 8 out of Milk Card and inked through the die with Aged Mahogany using Cut n Dry Foam. I cut the next size down out of Burgundy Card. I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Classic Sentiments Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using the second smallest of the Decorative Labels 8 dies and inked through the die with Aged Mahogany.

I tied a bow using Burgundy/Ivory Striped Grosgrain Ribbon. I left it 'naked'.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Black Pearls in the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Black Pearl around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
