If friends were flowers ....

Hi Bloggers.

I have shows today on Create & Craft at 8am and 2pm - hope you can join me. I will have been up since 4.30am so if I'm not quite with it, please forgive me!

Here's today's card -

For the background, I inked through the Elegance Border Mask with Faded Jeans Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I did this 3 times across the card. I then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Extra Loren Embossing Folder. I ran it through again to extend the design. I rubbed Enchanted Gold Gilding Wax all over. Once dry, I inked around the edges with Faded Jeans.

I stamped the Bluebells from the Spring Flowers Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Golden Pear and Tropic Blue Mica Powders from the Cosmic Shimmer Garden Flora Mica Spray Set. I cut it out using Spellbinders Decorative Labels 8 and inked through the die with Faded Jeans. I cut the largest die from the Spellbinders Diamond Effects out of Periwinkle 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 Justrite Vintage Labels Four (on Sue's show on Sunday) and inked through the die with Faded Jeans.

I tied a bow using Blue Satin Edged Organza and added a Small Fancy Pearl Embellishment.

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

Thanks for stopping by. See you later.

Julia.
