Hi Bloggers.
Another lady card today -
For the background, I inked up a section of the Art Collage Stamp with Perfect Medium. With the stamp in my hand I randomly stamped onto some Milk Card. I added some Cosmic Shimmer Ruby Blush Blaze Embossing Powder from the Brights Set and heat set. I stamped and embossed an area at a time until I was happy with the coverage. I ran the background through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and edged with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink. I wrapped a piece of Black Silky Crush Ribbon around the centre of the background.
I stamped the image from the 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 Dark Spice, Marigold and Scarlet Flame from the Autumn Shades Set and Warm Delight from the Skin Tones Set. I cut out using Spellbinders Matting Basics B and inked through the die with Aged Mahogany. I cut the largest of the Locking Loops dies out of Burgundy Card.
I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Distressed Edges from the Card Creator series and inked through the die with Aged Mahogany. I cut the next size up out of Burgundy Card.
I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Black Silky Crush Ribbon and added a Red Dazzler.
I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Black Pearl around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

ReplyDeleteMorning Julia, mmmmmm not sure on this one!! Although the black and red looks stunning and it all goes well together, It's just not for me. However, your background stamping is unique and I do love this technique. The sentiment defiantly suites the card! Enjoy the sunshine crafty hugs Debbie R xx
