Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

Sorry about the wonky photo!

For the background, I simply ran a piece of Milk Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Great Almanzo Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I cut 2 borders using the Spellbinders Classic Petal Edgeabilities with one of the inserts in the set. I inked through the die with Antique Linen. I added a 5mm Cream Pearl in each of the larger cut out circles all the way along the border.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the Damask Heart using Perfect Medium and added Cosmic Shimmer Olympic Gold Lustre Embossing Powder. I did not heat set at this stage. I inked up the centre section of the Lacy Heart with Perfect Medium and stamped it around the sentiment. I added Olympic Gold Lustre and heat set. I cut out just the heart from this piece (using scissors). I stamped the whole image twice more using Perfect Medium and embossed with Olympic Gold Lustre. I cut one out in its entireity and the other I cut without the scalloped edges. I stacked all 3 pieces on top of each other using 3d Foam as shown.

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 Crystal Decorative Stick Pins.

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

Just a reminder that the Stamps to Die For Bauble Stamps are now in stock in my Amazon Store here.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
