Hi Bloggers.
I'm off to Taunton this afternoon for a demo day at Craftasmic tomorrow. I won't be posting any Amazon orders placed today or tomorrow till Monday - sorry about that.
Here's today's card -
For the background, with the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped the Rose Background Stamp using Stormy Sky Distress Ink. I repeated the process with the Ledger Page Stamp and Weathered Wood Distress Ink. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Great Almanzo Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design.
I stamped the Daisy Swirl stamp using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Marine Sea Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Fancy Ribbon Threader and inked through the die with Weathered Wood. I threaded some Blue White American Seam Binding through the slits in the die cut.
I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Creations Classic Message Pre Cut Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Marine Sea Lustre. I cut it out using one of the dies from the Spellbinders Ornate Artisan Tags & Accents Die Set and inked through the die with Weathered Wood.
I tied a bow using 2 lengths of White Sheer Wrinkled Edge Ribbon. I pressed a Fancy Pearl Embellishment into a Perfect Medium Pad, sprinkled with Marine Sea Lustre, tapped off the excess and heat set.
I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

ReplyDeleteJust when I think that I need no more stamps you use a new stamp for the background. I love the randomness of these backgrounds and the fact that each and every card will be a bespoke creation. Love this whole concept and am now thinking that the flower stamp is calling.
Have a great weekend in Taunton hope the red ball in the sky will shine..... I know I am asking for the impossible but we can always dream.

ReplyDeleteGood morning Julia,
ReplyDeleteTodays card is a lovely tranquil sort of a card and please i mean no disrespect in saying this. This is a very calming set of colours which i think sending to someone who is needing a wee bit understanding when the whole world seems against them would really be very grateful to receive. It is not too out there and in your face but very, very peaceful.
Hope you have a lovely day where you are
