Just Because

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I stamped the Curly Corner using Fired Brick Distress Ink in 2 corners and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I then popped it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Super Powder Puff Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Fired Brick.

I stamped the Classic Rose Stem using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used Scarlet Flame from the Autumn Shades Set and Soft Moss from the Garden Twist Set. I cut out using Spellbinders Wonky Rectangles and inked through the die with Fired Brick. I cut the largest of the Spellbinders Beaded Squares out of Burgundy Card.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the Curly Corner using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio 3 and inked through the die with Fired Brick.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
