You're the Best

Hi Bloggers.

In answer to a couple of questions - I usually make a card from start to finish. I don't have a stash of sentiments already stamped as the stamp sets change from show to show. I probably won't have the Fishtail Frock on C&C again as it's already been on a few times. It is available in my Amazon Store. Whenever you see a highlighed product within the card description then if you click on it then you'll be taken to that product in my Amazon Store. Postage starts at £2.80 for 1 item and is just an extra 10p for each extra item. I think that's all the outstanding questions.

Another card today from the recent Spellbinders Shows -

For the background, I ran some Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Extra Confetti Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Scattered Straw Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Gratitudes Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large and inked though the die with Scattered Straw. I cut the next but one size of the Oval dies out of Custard Card and also added a Gold Ovals One Die.

I popped a Gold Rectangles One Die inside a Pearl Effects Die and cut them out of Coconut White Card. I removed the Gold die and inked through the Pearl Effects Die with Scattered Straw. I also added a little Scattered Straw around the very edge of the Pearl Effects Die Cut once I had removed it from the die.

I stamped the Heartfelt Creations Sunkissed Fleur using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut all the flowers out using the Sunkissed Fleur Die. I selected 2 of the flowers. I inked them up with Scattered Straw using Cut n Dry Foam and then rubbed some Enchanted Gold Gilding Wax over them. I shaped them, glued them together using Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue and added a White Pearl in the centre. I cut a couple of leaves out of Custard Card using the Heartfelt Creations Ornamental Add On Die Set.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of White Silky Crush Ribbon and added a Fancy Pearl Embellishment.

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

I'll be back tomorrow with a Sneak Peak from Thursday's shows - is it that time already!

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
