Especially for You

Hi Bloggers.

Well, I'm all moved in. Hated driving the van - it was mostly the reversing that was the problem! Virtually all the boxes are unpacked - I've stopped unpacking now as I really need to prep for next Thursdays shows. My internet was delayed a day but up and running now and the Amazon orders are all caught up. Just a few things I can't find!

Here's today's card -

For the background, I randomly stamped the Leafy Swirl Stamp using Antique Linen Distress Ink. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Smooch Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and then inked around the edges with Antique Linen.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Everyday Expressions Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Olympic Gold Lustre Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 30 and inked around the edges with Antique Linen after I had removed it from the die. I stamped the Vine Scroll using Perfect Medium and embossed with Olympic Gold Lustre. I cut it out using Labels 30 and again inked around the card after removing from the die. I popped some Doubled Sided Adhesive sheet onto some card and die cut the largest of the Labels 30 dies (don't emboss if doing this). I peeled the backing off and rubbed some Cosmic Shimmer Golden Sand Polished Silk Glitter into it. I then ran it through the Couture Creations Nuevo Embossing Folder to give it some texture.

I inked 2 of the Spellbinders Gold Corners One dies with Perfect Medium and die cut some white card. The Perfect Medium transferred to the deboss areas. I added some Olympic Gold Lustre and heat set.

I cut a Spellbinders Medallion 8 Die D-Lite and inked through the die with Perfect Medium. I added Olympic Gold Lustre and heat set. I cut away several pieces from the die cut as shown. I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Champagne Silky Crush Ribbon.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
