Happiness

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

Easy peasy - again the gorgeous stamp does all the work.

On the background piece of Coconut White Card, I stamped the large Dahlia from the Heartfelt Creations Dahlia Bouquet using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured it in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used Mallow from the Summer Fayre Set and Soft Moss from the Garden Twist Set. I inked around the edges of the background piece with Spun Sugar Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Exprssions Garden Sayings Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Opulent Ovals and inked through the die with Spun Sugar.

I cut a Spellbinders Les Papillion out of Pastel Pink Card and added some 5mm White Pearls.

I tied a bow using White Crochet Ribbon and added a Fancy Pearl Embellishment.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia

    A lovely card. Good choice of Spellbinders - it matches the fanciness of the stamp.

  17. Goodmorning Julia, it is so good to be back, had an enforced absence due to an eye infection. Have looked back over the past few days cards and recognise them, they are all beautiful. I thin the Dahlia stamps are beautiful.
