So Grateful For You

Hi Bloggers.

Another card made with Heartfelt Creations stamps today -

The image is from the Botanical Oval Pre Cut Set (HCPC 3520). I stamped it using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I popped the sentiment from the same stamp set in the middle. I coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used Sunflower (Summer Fayre), Soft Moss (Garden Twist) and Marigold (Autumn Shades). I cut it out using the smallest of the Spellbinders Grand Stately Circles and inked through the die with Scattered Straw Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I stamped the image again and cut a couple of the Lilies out using the Heartfelt Creations Cross and Lilies Die Set (HCD 719). I coloured in as before and popped them on top of the first image using 3d foam pads. I cut the second size of the Grand Stately Circles out of Pale Yellow Card.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of White Silky Crush Ribbon and added a Fancy Pearl Embellishment and a couple of Decorative Stick Pins.

For the background, I ran some Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Garden Lattice A4 M-Bossabilities Folder. I inked around the edges with Scattered Straw Distress Ink and added some Self Adhesive White Pearls to the corners.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  6. Morning Julia,
    I liked this when I saw it on Tuesday just what is needed for a grey and dreary day, it is very Spring like. I really like these stamps they are good for colouring and can be made into any sort of flower.
