Wishing You Flowers & Sunshine

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I used Burgundy Card. I dusted it with my anti-static bag. I inked up the Justrite Autumn Damask Background with Perfect Medium and placed the card dusted side down onto the stamp. Keeping a couple of fingers in place, I rubbed all over the card to transfer the image. I carefully removed the card, added Cosmic Shimmer Gold Detail Embossing Powder and heat set.

I cut 2 borders out of Burgundy Card using Spellbinders Persian Accents and added them to the top and bottom of my background.

I stamped the image from the Justrite Grateful Hearts Vintage Labels Two Clear Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels Two Dies and inked through the die using Caramel Adirondack Dye Ink with Cut n Dry Foam. I coloured in mostly using Matt Drawing Inks. I used Blue Cotton from the Soft Velvet Set, Marigold & Scarlet Flame from the Autumn Shades Set (more on order) and Soft Moss from the Garden Twist Set (more on order). I popped a little Pale Gold Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Metallics Mica Spray Set onto a tile, added a little water and used it to paint the small flourishes top and bottom. I went around the very edge of the die cut with Raisin Adirondack Dye Ink.

I stamped the sentiment from the Grateful Hearts set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with clear powder. I cut it out using Justrite Nested Oval Medallions Dies and inked through the die with Caramel Adirondack. I went around the very edge of the die cut with Raisin Adirondack.

I tied a bow using Burgundy/Ivory Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and added a Black Dazzler (more on order of both those items).

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
