On Your Special Day

Hi Bloggers.

Another card from Thursday's shows -

The background is simply a piece of Coconut White Card run through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Cheerful Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and then rubbed Pearl Moon Gilding Wax all over it.

I stamped the image from the Garden Party Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Lattice Rectangles and inked through the die with Faded Jeans Distress Ink. I coloured the image in using Cosmic Shimmer Watercolour Paints. I used Antique Green, Jade Mint, Marine Sea and Sapphire Sparkle - all from the Luscious Greens Set.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with clear powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles and inked through the die with Faded Jeans.

I stamped the Vintage Filigree A6 stamp using Faded Jeans and embossed with clear powder. I made a flower as in this tutorial but, I confess, I cheated and used a punch instead of the flower stamp. I cut a couple of leaves out using the Heartfelt Creations Ornamental Add On Die Set.

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

Thanks for stopping by.
