Friends Warm the Heart

Hi Bloggers.

I have shows today on Create & Craft at 11am with Genevieve and 4pm with Nigel. Hope you can join me.

Here's today's card -

For the background I randomly inked through the Basket Weave Mask with Faded Jeans Distress Ink. Then, with the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped the Justrite Garden Gate Background Stamp using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I then stamped the blossom stamp from the Justrite Circle of Love Vintage Labels Three Stamp Set using Faded Jeans. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Couture Creations Peacock Pleasure Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and then inked around the edges with Faded Jeans.

I stamped the sentiment from the Circle of Love set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Silver Lustre Embossing Powder. I cut it out using a Spellbinder Stately Circles die and inked through the die with Faded Jeans. I stamped the frame from the same stamp set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Arctic Lake Lustre Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels Three dies and inked through the die with Faded Jeans. I cut the largest of the Stately Circles and inked through the die with Faded Jeans. I cut the smallest of the Grand Stately Circles out of Cobalt Card.

I stamped the Justrite Garden Gate Background using Faded Jeans and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut out 3 x 6 petal flowers and made a flower following this tutorial. I tied a bow using White Sheer Wrinkled Edge Ribbon and added a couple of Crystal Decorative Stick Pins. I cut a couple of the leaf flourishes using the Heartfelt Creations Ornamental Add On dies, I cut the berries off.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearls and some dots of Cobalt Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA around the edges.

See you later!

Thanks for dropping by.

Julia.
