A Successful Marriage

Hi Bloggers.

Back home from Preston late last night. Had a lovely time at Inspirations. Back to prepping for next week's Pick of the Week. Sue is going to be doing the shows on Friday and Sunday and I'll be doing Saturday and then Monday till Friday morning or until stocks last.

I've popped all the times for the week in the left-hand sidebar indicating the shows that Sue is doing and the ones that are on Ideal World. We've popped lots of new Creative Expressions products on the shows which we hope you will enjoy. That's all I'm saying for now - tease!!

Here's another card from the shows last Sunday -

For the background, I inked through the Doodle Daisies Mask with Milled Lavender Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I then stamped one of the flourishes from the Eco Green Embellishing Flourishes Stamp Set using Milled Lavender.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Wedding Bliss Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Amethyst Mist Lustre Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Blossom 5 and inked through the die with Milled Lavender. I cut the smallest of the Spellbinders Grand Stately Circles and inked through the die with Milled Lavender.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of White Sheer Wrinkled Edge Ribbon and added a Fancy Pearl Embellishment.

I assembled the card as shown adding a Pearl Swirl and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges. I edged all my white mats with Milled Lavender beforehand.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

Looking forward to the POW, dont think my bank balance is tho haha, and having two of my favorite people what more could one ask for.

  7. Lovely card Julia - thanks for all the dates of the shows, I've spent such a lot recently, I'm afraid this set of shows is going to be hard, as I'll want a lot, and not be able to afford them.

You and Sue and Spellbinders and Creative Expressions for a whole week.........need to get a lot done over the next few days so I can give you my undivided attention.......if only life could be that simple.
