Happy Birthday

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I embossed the top half with the Couture Creations Extra Loren Embossing Folder. I hung that area over the edge of my Grand Calibur mats and embossed the other half with the Couture Creations Celebrate Embossing Folder. I inked around the edges with Dusty Concord Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I popped a little Violet Frost Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Garden Flora Mica Spray Set into the mister bottle that comes in the pack. I misted through the Elegance Mask onto a strip of Coconut White Card.

I stamped the image from the Summer Flowers Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Violet Frost Mica Powder, Lava Red Mica Powder 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 Spellbinders Labels 28 and inked through the die with Dusty Concord. I cut a Spellbinders Decorative Labels 28 out of Mauve Card.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, again using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Scalloped labels One and inked through the die with Dusty Concord. I cut a Spellbinders Captivating Square out of Mauve Card.

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

I assembled the card as shown adding an 8mm Cream Pearl in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Golden Pearl around the edges.

I think I've got all the links sorted now. If you're in my Amazon Store then if you add 'julia watts crafts' to the start of every search then you should find what you're looking for. A bit long-winded but at least it seems to work.

I have just reduced the price of some older A5 stamp sets - you can find them all here.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
