Hi Bloggers.
Back from a fab time at Ally Pally. Met lots of great crafters at a great venue. Already looking forward to next April!
As promised, here's a sneak peak from tomorrow's shows -
Another Milk & Black card - you guys seem to like these and this handbag stamp is so stunning it doesn't have to be coloured.
So, the background is simply a piece of Milk Card with the Couture Creations Poetry Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design.
I stamped the image from the Bags of Style Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 17 and cut a mat out of Black Card using Spellbinders Lattice Rectangles.
I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, again using Archival and embossed with clear powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Lattice Rectangles and cut a black mat using Labels 17.
I made a scrunched up flower using Spellbinders Blossom 5 and cut some leaves using Heartfelt Creations Open Leaf Stamp Set and Classic Leaf Die Set.
I assembled the card as shown adding a Black Pearl in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Black Pearl around the edges.
Back tomorrow with a card from Belle of the Ball.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

Hi Julia. Lovely card with a great handbag stamp. Glad you enjoyed Ally Pally. Hope you get a rest today. Looking forward to your shows tomorrow. Take care.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Julia,
ReplyDeleteI like todays card with the embossed background that has been left its natural colour. Black and white is a lovely classical colourway that always looks pristine. With the way you have dare i say scrunched up blossom 5, it looks like a carnation.
Love and crafty hugs
