So Sweet of You

Hi Bloggers.

Today a complete contrast to yesterday's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of black card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Super Powder Puff Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design. I then rubbed Cosmic Shimmer Vintage Golden Green Gilding Wax all over.

I stamped the frame from the Creative Expressions Posy Florals 3 Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Tropic Pearl Lustre Embossing Powder. I cut it out using scissors.

I stamped the fan piece 3 times, again using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Tropic Pearl Lustre. I added a black brad to fix them together.

I stamped the sentiment using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Tropic Pearl Lustre. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 28.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  5. Morning Julia Only a contrast in colour not in loveliness! I'm still trying to get my touch light enough on the gilding! The card is beautiful. Have a great weekend. Hope you are settling in your new home and your craft room is all sorted.

    Fab card today - the black background would be great for males but adding the flowers has really softened it.

  11. Hi Julia, a complete contrast but not in a bad way. The card looks a bit dark at first glance but I think it will be different in real life judging from the close up of the topper which is lovely. Have a good weekend, best wishes Jackie D

  29. Hi Julia, when I first looked at the card i thought the photo was is black and white, til I saw the sheen. Very different card. I think the background is great.
