Celebrate!

Hi Bloggers.

I thought I'd share a card today that I made when I was demoing at Melbicks Garden Centre earlier this month.

For the background, I inked through the Eyelet Lace Mask with Fired Brick Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I moved the mask along the card to extend the design. I then stamped around the edges of the card using the Elemental Swirl Singles Stamp (coming to my Amazon Store soon!) with Fired Brick. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Bouquet Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern (it's so busy you can't see the join) and then inked around the edges with Fired Brick.

I stamped the image from the Heart and Soul Singles Pre Cut Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured it in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used Scarlet Flame and Marigold from the Autumn Shades Set, Soft Moss and Meadow Lime from the Garden Twist Set. I cut it out using Spellbinders Stately Circles and inked through the die with Fired Brick.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the shoe, again using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles and inked through the die with Fired Brick.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Red Sheer Wrinkled Edge Ribbon and added a Medium Circle Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding my front to some mats which already had dry dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Berry Red around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
