Here's today's card -
Another really simple card - hopefully you will be able to see the lovely detail from the Gold Rectangles One dies on the pics.
The background is simply a piece of Coconut White Card run through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Extra Confetti Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and then inked around the edges with Fired Brick Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.
I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Heartfelt Sentiments Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Classic Rectangles Large and inked through the die with Fired Brick.
I made a flower using a die from the Spellbinders Standard Circles Large die set. There are 6 layers in this flower. I'm sorry, I just don't have time to record a step by step for the flowers - I have demoed them quite a few times on tv now and will try and include a demo using a different die set in one of my shows on 12th Sept. I stamped 2 of the leaves from the Heartfelt Creations Open Leaf Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut them out using the Heartfelt Creations Classic Leaf Die Set.
I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Red Sheer Wrinkled Edge Ribbon and added a Fancy Pearl Embellishment.
I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearls and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

Hi Julia, great card and colours and the dies show well
ReplyDeleteMorning Julia, A truly lovely card, loving the embossing folder background, and I absolutely adore the ruby card you have used. I loved it so much, have just ordered it, alongside a couple of others, from your Amazon Store. Lovely, lovely, lovely.

ReplyDeleteI love the rose, looks great with the black and white stamped leaves - will use that myself. Although I LOVE Spellbinders I'm not sure I'm loving the new dies - a bit too subtle for me perhaps!

Good morning Julia. This red card looks different in different photos so must look lovely in real life. I have been making quite a few flowers recently using your method in different sizes some with dies some with just scraps of card or paper and they look so effective. Best wishes Jackie D
