If Friends Were Flowers

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

Coconut White and Custard Card on this one. The back background has been run through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Extra Loren Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time and then inked around the edges with Scattered Straw Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

For the 3 panels, I stamped the Justrite Autumn Damask Background using Scattered Straw. I did this twice and then cut down to size.

I stamped the image from the Creative Expressions Spring Flowers Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Tropic Yellow Lustre Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 28 and inked through the die with Scattered Straw.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, again using Perfect Medium and embossed with Tropic Yellow Lustre. I cut it out using Spellbinders Distressed Edges and inked through the die with Scattered Straw.

I assembled the card as shown adding some 5mm White Pearls and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.

Don't forget to tune into Hels' Pick of the Day shows today on Ideal World and Create & Craft. Lots of Melt Pot goodies!

Thanks for stopping by.

    Love the design of the card, especially the three panel. I still find it hard to use so much yellow, but, I will try.... X

    Love this layout very stylish. That background stamp is delicious. The yellow is amazing and the embossing powder is stunning.

  11. Morning Julia, I'm just watching Hels on the repeat show right now, lots of inspiration for my melt pots.
    I love your card, love the colours and absolutely adore the damask background stamp, I must try doing panels with it, although the last time I did try it, I couldn't get all three panels aligned properly ha ha.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx

  15. Morning Julia,
    Great card, I too the the panel effect. Colour not coming across very well on my screen looks a bit muddy.
