Just wanted to say Hello

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card (I'll be mixing it up a bit over the next couple of weeks as I have have samples from a few different shows to share) -

For the background, I inked through the Patchwork Quilt Mask with Mustard Seed Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I moved the mask along the card to extend the design (you have to turn the mask till you find a fit with the existing inked pattern). I stamped over the top with one of the flourishes from the Heartfelt Creations Rye Grass Flourish Stamp Set using Scattered Straw Distress Ink. I made sure the ink was dry and then popped it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Extra Flint Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Mustard Seed.

I stamped the Sunflowers from the Creative Expressions Posy Florals 2 Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used Sunflower from the Summer Fayre Set (more on order), Meadow Lime & Soft Moss from the Garden Twist Set and Umber from the Autumn Shades Set. I cut it out using Spellbinders Fancy Postage Edge and inked through the die with Mustard Seed.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 25 and inked through the die with Mustard Seed.

I tied a bow using Cream Satin Edged Organza. I pressed a  Fancy Pearl Embellishment into a Perfect Medium Pad, sprinkled with Cosmic Shimmer Tropic Yellow Lustre Embossing Powder, 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.
