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.

  33. Hi Julia
    This is a Stunning card I love the gold and white colour scheme. The stamped image with the framed sentiment is beautiful. The border dies are so pretty especially with the pearls along them and the ribbon and bow finish the card beautifully.
