Friends Fill Your Life with Joy

Hi Bloggers.

As promised, today I'm giving you a sneak peak from tomorrow's Pick of the Day starting at 9pm on Ideal World.

For the background, I have simply run some Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Dream Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and then inked around the edges with Shell Pink Adirondack Dye Ink.

The sentiment is from Justrite Floral Vintage Labels Two Stamp Set. I stamped that first using Perfect Medium and added Cosmic Shimmer Silver Shine Detail Embossing Powder. I did not heat set it at this stage. I inked up the frame stamp from the Justrite Mr & Mrs Vintage Labels Four Stamp Set using Perfect Medium. I was able to line it up over the sentiment. I added the Silver Powder and heat set the lot. I cut out using Justrite Vintage Labels Four Dies and inked through the die with Shell Pink. I swiped some Shell Pink onto a tile and painted the frame.

I cut the Heartfelt Creations Decorative Lattice Swirls out of pastel pink card. These dies are just gorgeous and cut really well.

I stamped the flower cluster from the Heartfelt Creations Daisy Patch Bouquet Pre Cut Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with the Silver Shine Detail Powder. I coloured it using Meadow and Shell Pink Adirondack Dye Ink Pads. I cut it out by hand with scissors. This stamp set  co-ordinates with the Heartfelt Creations Daisy Patch Flowers Pre Cut Set. I stamped the corresponding flowers using Perfect Medium and embossed with the Silver Powder. I coloured them using Shell Pink. I cut them out using the Heartfelt Creations Daisy Patch Die Set. It's worth making a template to do this - full instructions are on the packaging of the die set. The smallest die benefits from using wax paper with it. I gave the flowers a bit of shape with my fingers. I glued the die cut flowers on top of the corresponding ones in the cluster using Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue twisting them slightly.

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

Hope you like this sneak peak.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
