Get Well Soon

Hi Bloggers.

Now the sun is out, the daffodils are here - still mighty cold though!

Here's today's card -

For the background, I randomly stamped the Beaded Swirl Single Stamp using Mustard Seed Distress Ink over some Coconut White Card. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations One World Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern - the join is behind the topper so you don't really notice. I edged with Mustard Seed using Cut n Dry Foam.

For the topper, I used the Delicate Daffodil Single Stamp. I coloured the stamp using Mustard Seed and Peeled Paint Distress Ink. I lightly spritzed with water before stamping. I cut out using Spellbinders 5 x 7 Matting Basics B and inked through the die with Mustard Seed. I cut a mat out of yellow card using the Matting Basics again.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the Daffodil stamp using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Die D-Lites Ornamental Tags Three and inked through the die with Mustard Seed.

I tied a bow using White Crochet Ribbon and added a Large Circle Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.
