My Friend

Hi Bloggers.

Well I managed to have a lie in but ended up with a bit of a migraine as a result! That'll teach me. I spent yesterday afternoon puttings lots of new stamps and embossing folders into my Amazon Store - details after today's card.

Here's today's card -

Another really simple card - beats my why they take me so long to make!

For the background, I stamped the Vintage Tapestry stamp using Scattered Straw Distress Ink. I needed to stamp it 4 times to cover the whole area. It's pretty easy to line up. I wrapped some Cream Crochet Ribbon around the right hand side. I ran a piece of Sand Card through the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Cane Weave 3d M-Bossabilities Folder. I rubbed some Enchanted Gold Gilding Wax over the top.

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 and Soft Moss from the Garden Twist Set. I cut it out using Spellbinders Superellipse and inked through the die with Scattered Straw. I cut a Spellbinders Pearl Effects out of Sand Card.

 
I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Heartfelt Sentiments using Jet Black Archival and embossed with clear powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Card Creator Distressed Edges and inked through the die with Scattered Straw.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Cream Pearls and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Golden Pearl around the edges.

As mentioned, I've popped lots of new stuff into my Amazon Store. There's some new Christmas Singles Stamps -

Joyous Santa

Reindeer Duo
Herald Angel
Whispy Christmas Tree
There are also 18 more To Die For Stamps to match the Spellbinders Heirloom Ornament Die Sets. You can see all of them here.

I have re-stocked some of Sue's A4 Embossing Folders here.

The Elegance Collection from Couture Creations is in stock and it's just lovely.

Extra Confetti
Taylor
Extra Loren

Large Damask Flourish
Celebrate
Cheerful
I've added a new colour to the Lustre Cosmic Shimmer Embossing Powders - Golden Mint, a lovely pale green.


 There's lots of re-stocks so be sure to have a look




Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    Morning Julia, I love this card, the tapestry background stamp is a definite on my 'wish' list, the colours are gorgeous too.
    It takes me hours and hours to make just one card, it is the thought beforehand that takes a long time and even then it doesn't always 'work' ha ha.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx
