Hi Bloggers.
Here's today's card - quite a simple one.
I cut 2 Spellbinders Die D-Lites Medallion 7 out of Burgundy Card. I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Classic Sentiments Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders 5 x 7 Elegant Labels 4 and inked through the die with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.
I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Crazy Daisy Embossing Folder. I inked around the edges with Aged Mahogany.
I threaded some White Silky Crush Ribbon through the centre of the medallions and the sentiment die cut and secured it at the back of the background.
I assembled the card as shown adding some Self Adhesive Pearls to each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Berry Red around the edges.
Pick of the Week Shows today are at 2pm and 8pm on Ideal World and 9am (extra show) and 4pm on Create & Craft. Hope you can join me.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

ReplyDeleteHi Julia,
The sentiment says it all, thank you.

Very pretty card. X
Good morning Julia,
ReplyDeleteI liked the shows especially on Ideal World yesterday, the presenter was very good and she was very complimentary to you and your talents. The afternoon show with Leonie was silly, sometimes she is too silly for me, but you seemed to be having fun...
Simple but so elegant Julia, another beauty

Hello Julia, You have been a star this week, how you have kept going I don't know. I've only watched you and i am flagging.Take care. Best wishes Patx
ReplyDeletewonderful shows this week Julia, where you come up with all your ideas I dont know..... loving your blog too which I have only just found but I visit every day... like the colours of this card and the way small dies can be used on a big card.....
ReplyDeleteLoved all your shows they have been fab. I have had to resist as there has been so much spell binders recently and still have my latest on flexi pay. May treat myself to a couple of the dies individually though! You must be exhausted by now. Your show with Loen was fab she is definitely unique! Have a relaxing weekend. Love Alison

Hi Julia, you are doing a fabulous job with all the Demi's you have done this week! You have had a real marathon run ! I bet you can't wait for a break!
ReplyDeleteYour Demo's have been inspirational, I particularly love your background work!
Can you buy just the rose background stamp.on its own? I love it but its only available in a multivitamin on TV, I checked your shop but its not there!
Looking forward to your Demo's tomorrow,
