Get Well Soon

Hi Bloggers.

I'm taking my Mom & Dad and Nathan to see Kathryn in Portsmouth today - wish I could've picked a better day to travel. Hey ho!

Here's today's card -

For the background, I randomly inked through the Patchwork Quilt Mask with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. Next, I stamped one of the fuchsia stamps from the Creative Expressions Summer Flowers Stamp Set a few times using Victorain Velvet. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Celebrate Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and then inked around the edges with Victorian Velvet.

I stamped the Fuchsia again using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Red Blaze and Lava Red Mica Powders from the Cosmic Shimmer Autumn Sunset Mica Spray Set and Apple Green Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Luscious Greens Mica Spray Set. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels Four and inked through the die with Victorian Velvet. I cut the largest of the Spellbinders Diamond Effects dies out of Rich Red Card.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with clear powder. I cut it out using another Justrite Vintage Labels Four die and inked through the die with Victorian Velvet.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia
