Love Stretches Your Heart

Hi Bloggers.

This is one of the demos from last Saturday.

This card features Cosmic Shimmer Lagoon Lilac Aurora Embossing Powder. Unfortunately, on TV and in my photos it doesn't really show up as well as in 'real life'. The powder is blue on white card and purple on black card (if using Clear Perfect Medium). You can also achieve the shade you get on black or dark card by stamping with black ink onto white card as I've done here. I used Black Perfect Medium (sorry out of stock at the CE warehouse at the moment) but you could also use Jet Black Archival (be quick getting the powder on) or Black Soot Distress Ink.

For my background, I cut a piece of Coconut White Card measuring 5 3/4" square. I dusted it with my anti-staic bag and popped it onto my GC Tan Mat which was sitting on on my base plate. I inked all over my Blossom Mask with Black Perfect Medium (the more ink the better on this) and popped it face down onto my card. I added my Pink Embossing Plate and ran it through my Grand Calibur. The ink transferred to the debossed pattern. I added the Lagoon Lilac Aurora Powder and heat set.

I stamped the Daisy Swirl using the Black Perfect Medium and embossed with Lagoon Lilac Aurora. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 29 and inked through the die with Dusty Concord Distress Ink.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Thoughtful Sentiments Stamp Set using the Black Perfect Medium and again embossed with the Lagoon Lilac Aurora. I cut it out using Spellbinders Matting Basics B and inked through the die with Dusty Concord.

I tied a bow using White Sheer Wrinkled Edge Ribbon. I pressed a Fancy Pearl Embellishment into the Black Perfect Medium Pad, added Lagoon Lilac Aurora, tapped off the excess and heat set.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
