Subtle Blue

Hi Bloggers.

A simple card today.

For the background, I simply ran a piece of Milk Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations One World Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern (the join is hidden by the topper). I inked around the edges with Stormy Sky Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the image from the Creative Expressions Elegant Ladies Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured her in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used Blue Cotton and Blue Lace from the Soft Velvet Set, Umber from the Autumn Shades Set and Cosmic Tone from the Skin Tones Set. I cut her out using the second smallest size of the Spellbinders Grand Decorative Ovals dies and inked through the die with Stormy Sky.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with clear powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 25 and inked through the die with Stormy Sky.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Cream Silky Crush Ribbon and added a Frosted Blue Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Summer Blue around the edges.

I'll be back tomorrow with a sneak peak from my Wedding Shows on Sunday.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
