Fabulous Friend

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I randomly stamped the Beaded Swirl Stamp using Dusty Concord Distress Ink. For a more subtle background, stamp onto a piece of paper first each time. I made sure the ink was dry and then popped it though the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Super Powder Puff Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and then inked around the edges with Dusty Concord using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the Heart & Soul Stamp using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Cleat Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used Purple Lilac from the Summer Fayre Set, Summer Haze from the Soft Velvet Set, Meadow Lime & Soft Moss from the Garden Twist Set. I cut it out using Spellbinders Beaded Squares and inked through the die with Dusty Concord.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Forever Friends Stamp Set, added Clear Embossing Powder then stamped the frame from the same stamp set. I added more powder and heat set. I cut it out using Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio 3 and inked through the die with Dusty Concord. I threaded some White Silky Crush Ribbon through the slits in the die cut and secured at the back of the background.

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

  34. Good morning Julia,
    This would be a Kirsten card as the height of the beautiful sandals would be right up her street (she's my 20 yr old daughter.
    This is such a beautiful card that i want a pair of those sandals. The fact that i walk with sticks goes for nothing, i could where them while in my electric buggy. Thank you for another beautiful card Julia,
    Love and crafty hugs
