Hi Bloggers.
Hope you've managed to pick up some goodies from Sue's Pick of the Day. Love those new A4 Embossing Folders. I have some on order for my Amazon Store - I should have them at the weekend. I'll post as soon as they're loaded.
Today's card is a fairly simple one from a recent demo day -
For the background, I laid the Elegance Border Mask across some Coconut White Card and inked through with Stormy Sky Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I repeated this twice more so that I had 3 lines of the pattern across the card. I then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Floral Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern and then inked around the edges with Stormy Sky using Cut n Dry Foam.
The sentiment and the frame are from the Creative Expressions Foliage Frame Pre cut Set. I stamped the sentiment first using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut the rubber from the centre of my frame stamp so I could line it up over my sentiment - I stamped with Archival and embossed with clear powder. I believe this frame co-ordinates with Spellbinders Labels 14 but as I didn't have this at the demo I cut it out using scissors and inked around the edges with Stormy Sky.
I cut the largest of the Spellbinders Timeless Rectangles out of cobalt card. At the emboss stage I added the Couture Creations Bouquet Embossing Folder.
I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Navy Silky Crush Ribbon and added a Vintage Cameo.
I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

lovely card. I too would prefer to buy the folders separately so will be watching out in your amazon store too. Any idea of how much they will be?
ReplyDeleteMorning Julia, great card, I like the shades of blue together and it would make a great male card if the bow and pearls were replaced with male inspired items. Have great day.

ReplyDeleteHi Julia I love this card,it's simple and easy to do but looks very elegant and I love that dark blue card. I have been watching sues shows and spent far too much and will probably regret it next month but it doesn't look like I'm going to get to ally pally this year so cheered myself up with some goodies!!! Lol love Lesley x
ReplyDeleteHi Julia,
ReplyDeleteA lovely card suitable for so many occasions. Like many others I missed the embossing folders as there was no picture of them on the C and c website beforehand and I was out last night so I am pleased to see you will be getting them. I'm off to my mum now for a few days so I hope Ally Pally goes well for you. regards Jackie D
Hi Julia, love the card. Must get some of those cameos they are gorgeous. Have a great time at Ally Pally wish I could come.

Hi Julia, Lovely card, always think dark blue and white are so fresh and crisp, love it. Loving watching Sue's shows, although this morning I had a hiccup, couldn't get C&C on my Freeview, in the end I had to re-tune the whole thing, thankfully I could watch on Ideal World on Virgin, my repeats taping didn't happen because the channel was in error, then tried the kitchen freeview at lunchtime and that was the same, so had to re-tune that aswell, it certainly picks it's times to go wrong !!! I missed out on the embossing folders and because the repeat didn't record, I haven't even seen them yet ha ha, so glad you will be stocking them.
ReplyDeleteLots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Julia, What a beautiful card glad to hear you will be getting the new folders like most I missed out but what a good idea no more fiddling about trying to line up folders! Love your work haven't had time to blog but log in most days to see what you have been up too! Amazing cards.

Love the card Julia and the colours xx
ReplyDeleteHi Julia
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card and my favourite colours too. White and blue are so clean, crisp and fresh looking. So pleased to know that you will be stocking them. At present I am unable to make any purchases as I have had to cancel my credit card due to major online problems with my computer, although a new one is on its way. So enjoyed watching Sue today, looking forward to your show late in the month.
