Celebrate with Style

Hi Bloggers.

Today's card is another one that I made whilst demoing at Melbicks.

For the background, I stamped around the edges of some Burgundy Card with the Pre Cut Elemental Swirl Stamp (coming to my Amazon Store soon) with Jet Black Archival. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with  the Creative Expressions Floral Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern.

The image and the sentiment are from another Pre Cut Set - Pure Elegance. I stamped the image and the sentiment that comes with it using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used Scarlet Flame and Marigold from the Autumn Shades Set, Sunflower from the Summer Fayre Set and Cosmic Tone from the Skin Tones Set. I cut out using Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles and inked through the die with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I made a flower using the Floral Embossing Folder, Coconut White Card and Aged Mahogany Distress Ink - you can see how to do this in this video tutorial. I added a couple of Black Swirls.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of May Arts Ribbon and added a Black Dazzler.

I added my design to some mats that had some dry dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Black Pearl around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.
