To the Best Daughter in the World

Hi Bloggers.

How many of us Moms think the above of our daughter/s? All of us, I should think. I'm off to see Kathryn today. She's moved into her student house in Portsmouth ready for the new term at Uni starting in just over a week.

So, today, we have the same boot as yesterday's card but in a different colour way.

This card has Milk Card as it's base. For the background, I inked through the Doodle Daisies Mask with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. Then I ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Cheerful Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design. I rubbed Blush Gilding Wax all over. Once dry, I inked around the edges with Worn Lipstick.

I stamped the image from the Creative Expressions Floral Footprints Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Floral Ovals and inked through the die with Worn Lipstick. I coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Watercolour paints. I used Antique Green from the Luscious Greens Set and Frosted Scarlet & Rocket Red from the Autumn Sunset Set.

I stamped the sentiment that comes in the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with clear powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Lattice Rectangles and inked through the die with Worn Lipstick.

I made a couple of ribbon flowers out of Cream Crochet Ribbon. To do this, I cut the ribbon down the centre and added the Super Sticky Tape to the cut edge then continued as per Sue's Tutorial. I cut a couple of leaves out of Raspberry Card using Heartfelt Creations Classic Leaf Die Set.

I assembled the card as shown adding a 8mm Cream Pearl in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlecent PVA in Dusky Pink around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
