Take Time For Yourself

Hi Bloggers.

I have a card from the Ladies shows to share with you today.

For the background, I ran a piece of Milk Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Turkish Delight Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Dusty Concord Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the image from the Elegant Ladies Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Matt Drawing Inks. I used Clover and Summer Haze from the Soft Velvet Set (on order), Purple Lilac from the Summer Fayre Set, Umber from the Autumn Shades Set and Warm Delight from the Skin Tones Set. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 25 and inked through the die with Dusty Concord. I cut a Spellbinders Grand Decorative Ovals One out of Foundations Floral Dream Paper and inked through the die with Dusty Concord.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using a smaller Labels 25 and again inked through the die with Dusty Concord. I cut a Spellbinders Grand Decorative Circles One out of Purple Card. At the emboss stage I added the Couture Creations Exotic Embossing Folder. I inked through the die with Dusty Concord.

I tied a bow using Purple/Ivory Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and added a Lavender Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding a Pearl Swirl and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Golden Pearl around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
