Hi Bloggers.
Back from a great weekend at Craftasmic in Taunton. Such a great little shop - well worth a visit if you're ever in the area.
As promised here's the sister to yesterday's card -
The panel behind the dress is the bit that was cut out of yesterday's card - just too lovely not to use. Please see yesterday's post to see how it was made.
For the background on this card, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Hyper Magical Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design. I rubbed Cast Bronze Gilding Wax all over. Once dry, I inked around the edges with Butterscotch Adirondack Dye Ink and then with Terra Cotta.
I stamped the dress from the Belle of the Ball Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Scarlet Sunset, Yellow Ultra and Orange Mica Powders from the Cosmic Shimmer Autumn Sunset Mica Spray Set and a little Cosmic Tone Matt Drawing Ink from the Skin Tones Set. I cut it out using scissors and went around the edges with a Black Marker Pen.
I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, again using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels Four and inked through the die with Butterscotch.
I assembled the card as shown adding some 5mm Cream Pearls in the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Olympic Gold around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.
