You're fantastic!

Hi Bloggers.

Hope you enjoyed the show yesterday and managed to get some goodies. Not really sure why the afternoon shows were cancelled - that's the nature of the beast!

I am a bit tired today but I need to get prepping for my shows on 21st (thankfully, I prepped Sunday's shows before I moved house).

Here's one of the cards that should have been a demo yesterday afternoon -

For the demo, I planned to stamp with Jet Black Archival and emboss with Cosmic Shimmer Tropic Pearl Lustre Embossing Powder. On this sample I have stamped with Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder.

For the background, I spritzed some Coconut White Card with Patina Cosmic Shimmer Vintage Mister. I then inked through one of the leaves on the Leafy Mask (coming soon) using Broken China Distress Ink all round the edges of the background piece.

I stamped the fan panel piece from the Creative Expressions Posy Florals 3 Stamp Set 5 times. I coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used all the colours from the Garden Twist Set and Blue Cotton and Blue Lace from the Soft Velvet Set. I cut them out using scissors and went around the edges with a Black Promarker to hide any white bits. I pierced a hole in each (the stamp shows you where) and secured them together using a brad. I fanned them out and popped some 3D Foam Pads on the back to keep them in place.

I cut the largest of the Spellbinders Fancy Postage Edge dies out of Coconut White Card. At the emboss stage I added the Leafy Mask. I inked through the die with Broken China.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 25 and inked through the die with Broken China.

I pressed a Fancy Pearl Embellishment into a Perfect Medium Pad, sprinkled with Cosmic Shimmer Lapis Sapphire Lustre Embossing Powder, tapped off the excess and heat set. I tied a bow using Blue Satin Edged Organza and added a couple of White Pearl Decorative Stick Pins.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
