Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I simply ran a piece of Coconut White Card through 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 Victorian Velvet Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the Zentangled Heart using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured it in using Cosmic Shimmer Mica Spray Set - Summer Shades. I love Mica Spray Sets - there's just so much you can do with them. You can dust them, paint with them, mix them with embossing powders, mist them, use them with masks, all sorts! I cut the heart out using scissors and went around the edge with a black promarker to hide any white bits. I cut the largest of the Spellbinders Ornate Artisan Tags & Accents and inked through the die with Victorian Velvet. I threaded some Blue White American Seam Binding through the holes in the die cut and secured at the back of the background. I tied 2 bows using 3 lengths of American Seam Binding and added a Pink Dazzler to each.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the Zentangled Heart using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using the same Mica Powders as before and cut out using Spellbinders Fancy Postage Edge. I inked through the die with Victorian Velvet.

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

Thanks for stopping by.
