You're Simply the Best

Hi Bloggers.

Glad you've liked the samples I've shared so far. Just to let you know that the Metal Effect Mask on yesterday's card is not actually on the shows today as I had to cut some products from the show.

Today I have shows on Create & Craft at 3pm (with Martyn) and 7pm (with Dawn). Hope you can join me. Please email in if you have time - it's lovely to see the Spotty Potty nice and full.

Here's today's card. I was planning for it to be a demo but the Small Polka Dots Mask and the Intrinsic Embossing Folder aren't on the show unfortunately.

For the background, I stamped all around the edges with one of the scroll stamps from the Eco Green Crafts Embellishing Flourishes Stamp Set onto some Milk Card using Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink. 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 (the join is covered by the ribbon). I inked around the edges with Chipped Sapphire using Cut n Dry Foam. I wrapped some Blue/Ivory Grosgrain Ribbon around the centre.

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 Chipped Sapphire. I cut the next size up of the Labels 28 and again inked through the die with Chipped Sapphire. I cut the largest size of Spellbinders Decorative Labels 8 out of Cobalt Card. At the emboss stage I added the Small Polka Dots Mask.

I made 2 flowers using Spellbinders Spiral Blossom 4 - 1 out of cobalt card and 1 out of Milk Card where I inked through the die with Chipped Sapphire before rolling. I added some spare bits of Pearl Swirls.

I assembled the card as shown adding a bow made from the Grosgrain Ribbon and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.

See you at 3pm!

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
