It's Your Day to Shine

Hi Bloggers.

I have shows on C&C today at 10am with Nigel and at 4pm with a new presenter. I hope you can tune in and perhaps send an email if you have time.

A mix of pink and blue today - my first demo (hopefully). Sorry the photo is a bit wonky. I'll be using a different sentiment and die in the demo - you'll have to tune in to see what I change it to!

For the background, I dusted a piece of Milk Card with an anti-static bag and with the stamp in my hand stamped the Hexagon Script Stamp using Perfect Medium. I sprinkled with Cosmic Shimmer Tropic Aqua Blaze Embossing Powder from the Brights Set and heat set. I did this a section at a time. I then filled in the empty spaces with the Art Collage Stamp using Milled Lavender Distress Ink. The Distress Ink remains wet where it lies on the Distress Ink so I blotted it with kitchen roll. I then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Exotic Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern and then edged with Milled Lavender using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the image from the Creative Expressions Party 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 Clover and Blue Lace from the Soft Velvet Set, Umber from the Autumn Shades Set and Warm Delight from the Skin Tones Set. I cut her out using the second largest of the Spellbinders Grand Decorative Ovals One and inked through the die with Milled Lavender.

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 Card Creator Distressed Edges and inked through the die with Milled Lavender.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Cream Silky Crush Ribbon and added a Frosted Blue Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding a Pearl Swirl and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Summer Blue around the edges.

Hope you can join me later.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
