Just Because

Hi Bloggers.

Thanks for all your comments and emails yesterday - much appreciated as always.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I laid the Swirl Border Mask across some Coconut White Card and inked around it with Dusty Concord Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I did this twice more. I then ran the piece through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Hyper Magical Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Dusty Concord.

I stamped the Blossom Heart Pre Cut Stamp using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Tropic Violet Lustre Embossing Powder. I removed the excess mica with a dry wetwipe and coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used Purple Lilac from the Summer Fayre Set and Soft Moss from the Garden Twist Set. I cut it out with scissors. I cut the largest of the Spellbinders Beaded Squares out of purple card and inked through the die with Dusty Concord.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the Curly Corner using Perfect Medium and embossed with Tropic Violet. I then stamped the frame from the Justrite Forever Friends set around it. I cut it out using Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio 3, inked through the die with Dusty Concord and trimmed the ends off.

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

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
