It's your day to Shine

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, with the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped the Hexagon Script using Barn Door Distress Ink. I repeated the process with the Art Collage Stamp using Fired Brick Distress Ink. I made sure the ink was dry and then dusted the whole area with my anti-static bag. I inked up a small section of the Rose Background with Perfect Medium and added it to my background. I sprinkled with Cosmic Shimmer Coral Glow Aurora Embossing Powder from the Brights Set and heat set. I repeated this process until I felt I had a good coverage of the Rose Background. I inked around the edges with Fired Brick using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the image from the Party 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 Umber, Marigold and Dark Spice from the Autumn Shades Set and Warm Delight from the Skin Tones Set. I cut it out using the smallest of the Grand Decorative Ovals dies and inked through the die with Fired Brick. I cut the next size up of the Grand Ovals out of Black 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 Matting Basics B and inked through the die with Fired Brick. I cut a mat out of Black Card using Spellbinders Distressed Edges from the Card Creator series.

I tied a bow using Burgundy/Ivory Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and added a Black Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Black Pearls in 3 of the corners of the background and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Golden Pearl around the edges.
