You're Absolutely Fabulous!

Hi Bloggers.

A girly card today. Quite simple.

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Adagio Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern and inked around the edges with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I cut a frame out of Burgundy Card using the largest 2 dies from the Spellbinders decorative Labels 8 set. I also cut the second smallest die out of Burgundy Card. I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Classic Sentiments Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with clear embossing powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 28 and inked through the die with Aged Mahogany.

I tied a bow using Ivory/Burgundy Grosgrain Ribbon, added a Red Dazzler and a couple of Crystal Decorative Stick Pins.

I assembled the card as shown adding an 8mm White Pearl to each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    WOW what a beautiful card. I do love those fancy labels (not got that set yet) but do have the fancy labels 27 so could maybe adapt those and make a square version
