Vintage Car

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I spritzed some Milk Card with Cosmic Shimmer Rich Gold Mister. I dried it with my heat tool and then dusted with my anti-static bag. I stamped the Curly Corner in 2 corners using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Olympic Gold Lustre Embossing Powder. I then popped it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Great Almanzo Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design.

I stamped the Vintage Car using Perfect Medium and embossed with Olympic Gold Lustre. I cut in out using Spellbinders Labels 29 and inked through the die with Antique Linen.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Champagne Silky Crush Ribbon. I pressed a  Fancy Pearl Embellishment into a Perfect Medium Pad, sprinkled with Olympic Gold Lustre, tapped off the excess and heat set. I added a couple of Cream Pearl Decorative Stick Pins.

I assembled the card as shown. I spritzed the middle mat with Rich Gold Mister and added dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Golden Pearl.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  8. Morning Julia,
    Love everything except the bow it's a bit overpowering for my taste, it takes the eye away from the lovely stamp.

    A fabulous card as always - a very romantic card the gold is really subtle, but equally this could be recreated for a male card. Fantastic

  17. Good morning Julia, another card full of techniques but for me personally I would leave off the bow or do one somewhat smaller so that the image is more prominent. Best wishes Jackie D
