Birthday Wishes

Hi Bloggers.

Had a lovely day at Domino Crafts in Wolverhampton yesterday - met some lovely crafters.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I first spritzed some Milk Card with Lava Red Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Autumn Sunset Mica Spray Set. Once dry, I inked through the Swirl Border Mask using Aged Mahogany Distress Ink. I ran the background through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Celebrate Embossing  Folder. I ran it though a second time to extend the design and then rubbed Enchanted Gold Gilding Wax all over. Once dry, I buffed it up with a DRY wetwipe to make it shinier. I inked around the edges with Aged Mahogany.

I stamped the Geranium from the Creative Expressions Summer Flowers Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in with Lava Red Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Autumn Sunset Mica Spray Set and Jade Teal Mica Powder from the Luscious Greens Mica Spray Set. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 28 and inked through the die with Aged Mahogany.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Scalloped Labels One and inked through the die with Aged Mahogany.

 I tied a bow using Cream Satin Edged Organza and added a Red Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown addinsome Cream Pearls in the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Golden Pearl around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    Lovely card, nice and bright for a dull, wet morning.

    Glad all went well yesterday and hopefully you will be safely tucked away in your home rather than traveling in this awful weather that is due tomorrow.

  22. Hi Julia, Glad your day went well yesterday. The geranium flower stamp is so pretty but sorry, I'm not so keen on the mask you have used for the background on this one as it seems a bit overpowering. Wind is picking up a bit here already so I hope we all stay safe overnight. Best wishes Jackie
