You're Always in Style

Hi Bloggers.

Back from a great day in Bristol yesterday - I met a lovely group of ladies.

Here's today's card - simple but effective!

I started by stamping the border that comes on the Creative Expressions Bags of Style Stamp Set along the bottom of a piece of Coconut White Card using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Ruby Lapis Lustre Embossing Powder. I then popped it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Large Hepburn Embossing Folder. I put the card in the folder so that the whole white area was covered but not the border. I inked around the edge of the background with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I wrapped some White Crochet Ribbon around the card to hide the line from the edge of the folder.

I stamped the image using Perfect Medium and embossed with Ruby Lapis Lustre. I cut it out using Spellbinders Opulant Ovals and inked through the die with Victorian Velvet.

I stamped the sentiment, again using Perfect Medium and Ruby Lapis Lustre. I cut it out using Spellbinders Fleur de Lys Rectangles and inked through the die again with Victorian Velvet.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
