Merry and Bright

Hi Bloggers.

Hope you're enjoying the Pick of the Day. 9 shows scheduled today (please see yesterday's post for times and channels). I'm not sure if the 9am is going ahead as it's not on the schedule as I write this.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I used Milk Card. With the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped the Newsprint Holly A6 Stamp using Dusty Concord Distress Ink. I then stamped a few berries from the Justrite Festive Poinsettia Clear Stamp using Seedless Preserves Distress Ink. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Peacock Feathers Mask to add a bit of texture.I inked around the edges with Seedless Preserves using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Inner Thoughts Rubber Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and added Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I did not heat set just yet. I stamped the large bauble stamp which is from the Justrite Heritage Christmas Ornaments Clear Stamp Set around the sentiment, again using Jet Black Archival, added Clear Powder and heat set the lot. I cut it out using the largest of the Spellbinders 2013 Heirloom Ornament Dies and inked through the die with Seedless Preserves. I threaded some Purple/Ivory Striped Grosgrain Ribbon through the loop at the top of the bauble and secured it at the back of the background piece. I tied another piece of ribbon into a knot and added it to the top of the bauble as shown.

I glued an Art Deco Corner in each corner using Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue.

I finished the card off with some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Vintage Plum around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
