Sue takes over on the Pick of the Week again today with shows at 12noon (2 hours), 4pm and 6pm. Hope you can tune in.
Here's today's card -
I stamped the sentiment (it comes with Poppy Stamp) again using Perfect Medium and embossed with the Silver Detail Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Die D-Lites Petite Labels 1 and inked through the die with Stormy Sky.
I cut the largest but one of the Grand Stately Circles out of Coconut White Card. After embossing I left the card in the die. With the stamp in my hand I randomly stamped the Chicken Wire Stamp using Stormy Sky Distress Ink. I repeated the process with the Art Collage Stamp (more stock due in soon) using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I blotted the excess ink away with some kitchen roll making sure there was no ink still on the die and then inked through the die with Stormy Sky.
I cut the largest of the Grand Decorative Labels 1 out of Pastel Blue Card. Again, I left the card in the die after embossing. This time I inked through the Knitted Mask at the corners using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and then inked through the die with Stormy Sky.
I tied a bow using 2 lengths of White Sheer Wrinkled Edge Ribbon and added a Fancy Pearl Embellishment.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

I am new to your blog Julia and must say how I have loved all your demo`s and inspiration on all your pick of the week shows. You were brave to stamp on the gilding and emboss it, and my how impressive. I love your enthusiasm and style of cards.
ReplyDeleteThanks,

Love those Grand Decorative Labels. Think I will have to invest. Can I ask if Spellbinders do a Grand decorative die in a rectangular shape?? Keep bringing us the ideas - much appreciated.
