Spirit of Love

Hi Bloggers.

A couple of really simple cards today using Cosmic Shimmer Texture Paste. It takes a few hours to dry so prepare a batch for some quick Christmas Card batch making.

Here's the first -

Silver Pearl Texture Paste used through the Over the Roof Tops Mask. Cobalt Card and Cobalt Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA coming to my Amazon Shop soon. The sentiment is from the Justrite Vintage Labels Four Clear Stamp Set, stamped with Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Silver Shine Metallic Embossing Powder, cut out using Justrite Vintage Labels Four Dies and inked through the die with Faded Jeans Distress Ink.

Here's the next card (bit out of focus - sorry!) -

Royal Gold Texture Paste used with the Holly Wreath Mask. The sentiment is from the Grand Christmas Sentiments Rubber Stamp Set (on order!), stamped using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Bright Gold Metallic Embossing Powder, cut out using Justrite Vintage Labels Two dies and inked throufh the die with Seedless Preserves Distress Ink. I cut 4 holly corners using the Spellbinders Holly Accents Die Set, inking through the die with Seedless Preserves. I used a dot of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Vintage Plum on each corner and put some dots of the sames around the edges.

Great batch cards and quite flat too so not too bad for posting.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  9. Hi Julia. Love these two. Saw your demo and now I need to get some texture paste! I doubt mine will look as crisp and clean as yours though, will have to practice. Enjoy the weekend. Take care.

    These are clever cards and you are right about thinking about postage, that can cost more than the card lol. Very lovely cards today. Thanks

  24. Hi Julia, Two lovely cards, haven't tried the paste, think i'd get in too much of a mess. It does make a good effect though.

  25. Hi Julia, wondered how you did this technique, now I know! Both cards are lovely and couldn't choose between them if I had to. Will definitely give it a go! x

  26. Hi Julia, 2 super cards. Something to keep in mind for when I can order some new crafty stash as I don't have the texture paste just now.
    Hope you enjoy your weekend,

  27. Good afternoon Julia,
    I love the blue and silver with Santa flying over the rooftops. I am practising these pearls drops as they really make the card have that wee bit extra of a look to it, without being all singing and dancing.
    Take care,
    Love and crafty hugs Norah
