Happiness is a Day Shopping

Hi Bloggers.

Glad you enjoyed the shows yesterday. I must say, I have really enjoyed working with the 2 sets of stamps that were on the shows.

Here's today's card, a demo from the 1st show -

For the background, I inked through the Knitted Mask with Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I ran the background through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Large Hepburn Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design. I rubbed some Pearl Moon Gilding Wax all over. I left it to dry for a few minutes and then inked around the edge with Faded Jeans Distress Ink.

I stamped the image from the Bags of Style Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Arctic Lake Lustre Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Floral Ovals and inked through the die with Faded Jeans. I added some White Pearls to the handbag as shown.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, again using Perfect Medium and embossed with Arctic Lake Lustre. I cut it out using Spellbinders Pearl Effects and inked through the die with Faded Jeans.

I made 3 rolled flowers using White Crochet Ribbon. I stamped 3 sets of leaves using the Heartfelt Creations Open Leaves Stamp Set and Perfect Medium, again embossing with Arctic Lake. I cut them out using Heartfelt Creations Classic Leaf Die Set.

I assembled the card as shown adding an 8mm White Pearl in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Summer Blue around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  17. Hi Julia,

    Like everyone else, loved your shows. This card is gorgeous. Love the crochet flower, think I am the only person on earth that doesn't like Sue's felt flowers!!!! They look thick and not as pretty as the crochet ones. Oh well, there is always one, isn't there?

    Much love,
