Well-behaved Women

Hi Bloggers.

Hope you're enjoying your bank holiday weekend. Here's today's card -

Another one of my busy backgrounds here. I used Coconut White Card. With the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped the Hexagon Script Stamp using Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. Using the same method, I stamped the Rose Background using Tea Dye Distress Ink. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Exotic Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern and then edged with Gathered Twigs 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 in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used Umber and Dark Spice from the Autumn Shades Set, Sunflower from the Summer Fayre Set and Cosmic Tone from the Skin Tones Set. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 25 and inked through the die with Gathered Twigs. I cut the second smallest size of the Spellbinders Grand Decorative Ovals 1 out of Black Card. At the emboss stage I added the Exotic Embossing Folder.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, again using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using the smallest of the Grand Decorative Ovals Dies with the sentiment to the right-hand side. I inked through the die with Gathered Twigs.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Black Silky Crush Ribbon and added a Light Brown Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding a Pearl Swirl and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Dark Bronze around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
