Have a Beautiful Day

Hi Bloggers.

I have shows on Create & Craft today at 10am (with Dean) and 3pm (with Joanne). Hope you can join me and email in if you can.

I've already shown you the embossing powders on the show in Saturday's Post, today I'm sharing another card made with the Fishtail Frock Stamp. I can't demo this one as the Soft Velvet Matt Drawing Ink Set isn't on the show. However, this is one of my favourite cards from the show so I thought I'd share it with you today.

For the background, I laid the Delicate Border Mask along some Coconut White Card and inked around it with Stormy Sky Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I repeated this twice more.

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 Blue Lace and Blue Cotton from the Soft Velvet Set and a little Cosmic Tone from the Skin Tones Set. I cut it out using scissors and went around the edges with a Black Promarker to hide any white bits. I cut the largest of the Spellbinders Beaded Squares. After embossing, I left the card in the die, covered the exposed card on the circles around the edges with removable tape and stamped the Justrite Fleur de Lis Background Stamp through the die using Stormy Sky. I removed the tape and any excess ink from the die and blotted the stamped area dry with some kitchen roll and then inked through the die with Stormy Sky.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the Vintage Corset Stamp 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 Stormy Sky.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of White Silky Crush Ribbon and added a Frosted Blue Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges. I added some White Pearls in 2 of the corners.

Hope to see you later.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  13. Morning Julia, Wow this card is stunning. I just love the Frock, it is a dress to die for, and many pennies to pay for too. Will you be stocking the Delicate Border mask in your store? Will have to get it, I just love, love it. This would look great in any colour as the stamp does it all. Looking forward to today's show's, am I going to spend a fortune, probably!! You are on with one of my favorite presenters, Dean he does make me laugh. Have a really fun day and don't work to hard, how can crafting be hard work silly me! Crafty hugs Debbie R xx

    Hope the shows in well.

  21. Morning Julia, I don't understand why you couldn't use this card in a demo. Lots of demonstrators use a topper that is printed or pre-prepared, surely you could say that this image could be coloured in anyone's preferred method?

Hi Julia what a lovely card and done in great colours too,I'm really liking the beaded dies you've been using but I don't think I'm going to get them as I have so many dies that I've hardly used!! I might get the dress stamp though as its very versatile.looking forward to watching your shows tonight. Love Lesley x

  36. Oh so elegant, Julia, and the background stamps are lovely. Missed both shows because at work... So many shows are repeated but it seems never yours or Sue's but maybe they will and I'll get lucky!
