Friends Fill Your Life With Joy

Hi Bloggers.

It's moving day today. I'll be driving a van for the first time in 30 years! It's not the driving I'm concerned about but the parking part - a van's a bit bigger than a Fiat Panda! I've scheduled a couple of posts as my broadband won't be installed till tomorrow. I'm hoping that I'll still be able to get my Amazon orders out on time.

Also today, it's my very dear friend Sue Wilson's birthday so a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to her.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I laid the Delicate Border Mask along the top of my card and inked around it using Denim Adirondack Dye Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I repeated this twice more moving the mask down the card. I made sure that the ink was dry then dusted the background with my anti-static bag. I stamped the flourish from the Justrite Butterfly Dreams Stamp Set around the edges using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Arctic Lake Lustre Embossing Powder.

I stamped the flower image from the Justrite Floral Vintage Labels Two Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Arctic Lake Lustre. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels Two Dies and very lightly inked through the die with Denim ink. I cut the next size up out of Pastel Blue Card.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Arctic Lake Lustre. I cut it out using Justrite Antique Tags One Dies and inked through the die lightly with Denim ink. I cut a small Spellbinders Persian Motif to sit behind it.

I tied a bow using White Crochet Ribbon. I pressed a Fancy Pearl Embellishment into a Perfect Medium Pad, added Arctic Lake Lustre, tapped off the excess and heat set.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
