Hi Bloggers.
Thanks for all your orders from my Amazon Shop over the weekend - much appreciated.
Here's today's card -
The background has been created using the Spellbinders Crisscross Expandable Pattern Die. This die is such a lovely die to use - it cuts beautifully, is easy to line up to expand the design and the bits knock out of the die really easily. I popped some foundations patterned paper behind the design.
I stamped the Vintage Dressform using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Marine Sea Lustre Embossing Powder. I cut it out using the 2 largest dies in the Spellbinders Nobel Rectangles die set and inked through the die with Faded Jeans Distress Ink. I cut a backer out of foundations paper using just the largest die in the set.
I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Heartfelt Sentiments Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Marine Sea Lustre. I cut it out using Spellbinders Pearl Effects and inked through the die with Faded Jeans.
I made 3 little scrunched up flowers using the little flower die in the Pearl Effects set. I used 3 flower die cuts for each flower. I added some leaves cut from the Heartfelt Creations Classic Leaf Die Set and some left over bits from some Pearl Swirls.
I assembed the card as shown adding some White Pearls in the corners.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.
