Hi Bloggers.
Here's today's card -
For the background, I placed the Knitted Mask at a jaunty angle onto some Coconut White Card and spritzed with Purple Violet from the Cosmic Shimmer Breeze Blush Acrylic Misting Inks Set.
I stamped the Perfect Poppy Single Stamp using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer White Detail Embossing Powder. I also stamped the sentiment which comes with the poppy again using the Perfect Medium and embossed with the white powder. I cut it out using Spellbinder 5 x 7 Matting Basics B and inked through the die with Dusty Concord Distress Ink. I cut a mat out again using the Matting Basics B.
I popped some Double Sided Adhesive onto some card and die cut Spellbinders Die D-Lites Medallion 8. I did not use the little centre circle die. I peeled off the baking. I added Vintage Violet Cosmic Shimmer Polished Silk Glitter. I really rubbed it in to make sure that the fine glitter really covered the surface. The more you rub, the less it will shed. I added a Medium Circle Dazzler.
I assembled the card as shown adding some Pearl Swirls and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in white around the edges.
For those of you who have asked, I have ordered some Cosmic Shimmer Polished Silk Glitter for my Amazon Store. I have also ordered some Gilding Flakes and some Gilding Wax. Hopefully they will be here after Easter.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.
Love the card Julia, I must have missed the knitted mask, but I've been in hospital, so perhaps it came out when I was 'incarcerated'.

Good snowy morning Julia, I watched C&C when you made this card and thought it was stunning then, its even better seeing on here! I bought two packs of the gilding wax and they are amazing I've gone OTT and used them on everything! I must have some more of the different shades! I can't wait to watch the show's on C&C with Sue and no doubt you will be too! Hugs Debbie Ravenhill x

ReplyDeleteHi Julia,
ReplyDeleteWith ref to my early question about the vintage car,
it was the one with striped ribbon but just tied in a knot which I thought was a good idea.
Thank you.
Jill
A lovely card Julia, very soft in colour, the medallion brings an eye catching point to it...
