Vintage Car

Hi Bloggers.

Last day at Ally Pally today.

This simple card was from the D-Lites Pick of the Week but I was unable to demo it as the Elegant Labels 4 sold out really quickly. I was pleased to see it back on Sue's Pick of the Day last Tuesday.

For the background, I simply ran a piece of Milk Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations One World Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design.

I cut the 5 x 7 Elegant Labels 4 out of Gold Pearlescent Card. I used the 2 largest dies so I could get a frame.

I cut the D-Lites Gilded Gate 2 out of Black Card - you really need wax paper for this one. I removed the die and the wax paper from the die and dusted the die cut with an anti static bag. I popped the die cut back into the die and inked through the die with Perfect Medium using Cut n Dry Foam.  I removed the card from the die and then sprinkled with Cosmic Shimmer Gold Detail Embossing Powder and heat set.

I stamped the Vintage Car Pre Cut Stamp using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out with scissors.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  5. Its a bit busy for me, sorry, but elegant labels 4 is stunning. I managed to order it on Tuesday before it sold out again and it arrived on Friday morning. . . Yea ! Have already had a play & love it. It was an amazing price on Sues show, as someone on amazon(not Julia) was trying to cash in by charging £47 as it was as rare as rocking horse poo.Naughty.

  8. I have the Elegant labels 4 (after a long wait) but now I need that gate die! The combination of those two, with the car stamp go so well together, it's a shame you couldn't demo it.

  21. Hi Julia, I think this card is simple, but very elegant, beautiful. I missed out on the labels four dies but they are defiantly on my, ever growing, crafty shopping list. I was very lucky to get both sets of the D-Lites dies, can't have everything, hey. I've just ordered the vintage car stamp set from your shop, so can't wait for that to arrive. I do hope your in good stead after the long weekend you have had, I no it's not finished yet. Have a great day, crafty hugs Debbie R xx

  25. Hi Julia this is a lovely card and embossing the gate does add a lovely touch,I thought wedding card straight away but it's also a good one for men too. I'm glad I got elegant labels 4 in the multibuys last week as it is such a lovely die and I too have seen it on sale for between £30 and £40 which is taking advantage a bit!! Glad I wasn't planning on going ally pally as I have woke full of the cold and hardly able to talk so wouldn't have been able to go anyway!! Love Lesley x
