Hi Bloggers.
Back from a weekend of demoing. Met some lovely crafters.
A card from the Spellbinders Shows I did at the end of August today -
For the background, I popped a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Twisted Hearts M-Bossabilities Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design - this is a repeating pattern so really easy to line up. I inked around the edges with Faded Jeans Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.
I stamped the sentiment that comes with the Beaded Flourish Single Stamp using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using a Spellbinders Gold Rectangles One Die within a Spellbinders Classic Rectangles Die. After cutting and embossing, I removed the Gold Die and inked through the Classic Die with Faded Jeans.
I placed a larger Gold Rectangles One Die within another Classic Rectangles Die and cut and embossed that. Again I removed the Gold Die and inked through the Classic Die with Faded Jeans.
I cut the largest 2 Spellbinders Nobel Rectangles Dies out of Foundations Paper and inked through the die and around the edges with Faded Jeans.
I tied a bow out of 3 lengths of Chalk White American Seam Binding and added a Frosted Blue Dazzler.
I assembled the card as shown adding some White 5mm Pearls and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

ReplyDeleteYour card is lovely, I really love the top two die-cuts with lots of pricking, very effective, and different.

ReplyDeleteHi Julia. Lovely card in my sort of colours. I love the twisted hearts background. Hope you can get some rest now. Thank you for so many gorgeous samples that we saw on Sue's shows over the weekend. Are we going to see, on here, the one that you sort of zigzagged what looked like glue over the background ? Take care.
