To a Beautiful You

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

The background is simply a piece of Coconut White card run through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Petal Pleasures Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Scattered Straw Distress Ink. I wrapped some White Sati n Edged Organza around the centre.

I stamped the Delightful Lily using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used Sunflower (from the Summer Fayre Set), Marigold (from the Autumn Shades Set) and Soft Moss (from the Garden Twist Set). I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 4 Small and inked through the die with Scattered Straw. I cut a mat out of Custard Card using Spellbinders Labels 4.

I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Creations Timeless Sentiments Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles and inked through the die with Scattered Straw.

I cut one of the lattice ornaments and a couple of the leaf flourishes out of Custard Card using the Heartfelt Creations Ornamental Add On Dies - I snipped the berries off the leaf flourishes. The flower is made from stamps and dies I have on the Toolshed on 18th August - shh don't tell anyone!

I assembled the card as shown adding some 5mm White Pearls and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.
