Hi Bloggers.
Another of my favourites from last weeks shows and it features the Fishtail Frock and Wrought Iron Corner Stamps again which will hopefully both be back in stock in my Amazon Store during this week.
For the background, I simply ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Hyper Magical Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Milled Lavender using Cut n Dry Foam.
For the panel borders, I stamped the Wrought Iron Corner using Milled Lavender.
I stamped the Fishtail Frock using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used Clover and Summer Haze from the Soft Velvet set (I've been unable to order that for a while as it's currently out of stock at the warehouse). I used a little Cosmic Tone from the Skin Tones Set for the top of the manequin. I cut it out with scissors and went around the edges with a black promarker to hide any white bits.
I stamped the sentiment that comes with the Wrought Iron Corner using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio 3 and inked through the die with Milled Lavender. I cut the side pieces off the die cut.
I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges and some Pearls on the panels.
I'll post a sneak peak from this Tuesday's shows tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

Good morning. You and Sue have a matching theme again, lilac, simple but elegant. Look forward to seeing the shows.
ReplyDeleteHi Julia
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence, I was just looking at this dress stamp in the project book, wondering if I could draw it...haven't tried yet! (don't think it will be a patch on this)
Your card is very pretty, the colours are lovely and your backgrounds add that special touch!
Looking forward to the sneak peek tomorrow and Yippee!! I'll be able to watch on Tuesday as it's my day off!
Have a great day
