Warmest Wishes

Hi Bloggers.

Hopefully this post will go live while I'm away in Taunton. I'm demoing at Craftasmic all day today. I'm told that all the tickets are sold so should be a busy day.

Here's today's card -

For the background, with the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped the Justrite Fleur de Lis Background stamp using Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. I also stamped the Wrought Iron Corner in the top and bottom right hand corners but they do look a bit lost. They would probably have been better stamped and embossed - maybe next time.

I stamped the Blossom Heart using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used Clover from the Soft Velvet Set and Soft Moss from the Garden Twist Set. I cut it out with scissors and went around the edges with a Black Promarker to hide any white bits. I stamped and embossed the heart again and just coloured in the flowers. I cut them out and added them to the top of the original image with 3d foam. I cut a Spellbinders Wonky Rectangle and at the emboss stage I added the Couture Creations Super Powder Puff Embossing Folder. I inked through the die with Victorian Velvet.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the Blossom Heart using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Fancy Ribbon Threader and inked through the die with Victorian Velvet.

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

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
