For someone so Special

Hi Bloggers.

Hope you had a lovely Easter. Kathryn and I went to my parents' house for a few days. We just read, watched tv (which I don't normally do much) and ate. Very relaxing!

A shaped card today -

I started by stamping my 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 the outer die of the Spellbinders Vines of Passion Die D-Lite. After the emboss stage, I left the card in the die and stamped the Damask Heart Single Stamp through the die using Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. I blotted the ink dry, making sure I removed all the ink from the die, and inked through the die with Victorian Velvet using Cut n Dry Foam.

I cut the second smallest of the Spellbinders Grand Stately Circles. After the emboss stage, I inked through the die with the Squared Mask using Victorian Velvet. Then, with the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped the Rose Background Stamp, again using Victorian Velvet. I removed any ink that was on the die and blotted the stamping, then inked through the die with Victorian Velvet.

I cut the next 2 sizes up of the Grand Stately Circles and inked the die with Victorian Velvet.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of the Rose Sheer Wrinkled Edge Ribbon and added a Fancy Pearl Embellishment.

I assembled the card as shown using some leftover bits from a Pearl Swirl.

Thanks for stopping by.
