You Mean the World to Me

Hi Bloggers.

A lovely sentiment on today's card.

I used a piece of Foundations Argyle Paper for the background but I changed it a little by randomly stamping a little of the Bubbles A6 stamp (with the stamp in my hand) with Black Soot Distress Ink.

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 Spellbinders Labels 28 and inked through the die with Black Soot using Cut n Dry Foam. I cut the next size up of Labels 28 out of Black Card.

I tied a knot in 3 short lengths of Black/Ivory Striped Grosgrain Ribbon. I added a couple of keys to the bottom one.

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.

    Julia,
    I really like the knots instead of bows, very cool idea. The stamping on top of a patterned paper is also very cool. You are so very clever.

    Great man card, methinks, and could still be jazzed up with other colours too.

    Hi Julia
    Super card - really simple yet effective. A good mans card but change of colour and good for a lady. Liking the knots.
