Dream in Blue

Hi Bloggers.

I had a lovely day at Craftasmic in Taunton yesterday. A lovely little shop crammed full of goodies - well worth a visit if you're anywhere near there.

Here's today's card. I didn't quite get to finish the demo on this one.

For the background, I randomly stamped on of the flourishes from the Newsprint Flourishes Stamp Set using Stormy Sky Distress Ink. Then, with the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped the Ledger Page Stamp using Weathered Wood Distress Ink. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it though the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Great Almanzo Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Weathered Wood.

I stamped the Zentangled Flower using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Marine Sea Lustre Embossing Powder. I cut it out using scissors. I stamped and embossed it again, but this time just cut out the flower head. I shaped the petals with my fingers and glued one on top of the other using Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue twisting the flower head so they're offset. I cut out a Spellbinders Labels 9 and at the emboss stage I added the Couture Creations Petal Pleasures Embossing Folder. I inked through the die with Weathered Wood.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the flower, again using Perfect Medium and embossed with Marine Sea Lustre. I cut it out using Spellbinders Fancy Postage Edge and inked through the die with Weathered Wood.

I tied a bow using Blue Satin Edged Organza. I pressed a Fancy Pearl Embellishment in to Perfect Medium, dusted with Marine Sea Lustre, tapped off the excess and heat set.

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

I think I'll maybe do a sneak peak from Tuesday Night's Pick of the Day tomorrow. Be sure to pop by.

Thanks for stopping by.
