Treat Yourself!

Hi Bloggers.

A quick & easy card today -

The background paper is from the Teresa Collins 8 x 8 Paper Pad from Creative Expressions. I used the Spellbinders Classic Petal Edgeabilities to cut the fancy edge at the bottom. I mounted it onto Milk Card and added some larger than usual dots of Cosmic Shimmer Cosmic Pearl Pearlescent PVA - hard to get them in a straight line!

I stamped the image from the Belle of the Ball Stamp Set (now back in stock) using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Fleur de Lys Squares and inked through the die with Dried Marigold. I stamped the image again onto some dotty paper from the Teresa Collins Pack. I cut out the dress and glued on top of the original image using CS Dries Clear Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, again using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels Four and inked through the die with Dried Marigold.

I assembled the card as shown adding an 8mm Pearl to the top corners.

Like I said - quick & easy!

Dee Paramour is on Create & Craft today at 9am & 4pm. She has 2 new stamp sets on the shows - Autumn Flowers and Winter Flowers. I worked with Sue and her artist on these - I do hope you lke them. I tried to pick some flowers that aren't normally found on stamps. I have the Spring Flowers and Summer Flowers stamp sets on my shows next Thursday. Be sure to tune in to Dee's shows - she usually has some stunning samples and great demos.

Just to let you know - as well as the Bell of the Ball Stamp Set being back in stock in my Amazon Store, I've also re-stocked the Bags of Style Stamp Set, Floral Footsteps Stamp Set, Christmas Scene Bauble. The Teresa Collins Paper Pad is in stock as I write this, I also have a couple of pots of the Large Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue left. I have stocked a range of Cosmic Shimmer Mica Spray Sets ahead of next weeks shows and also large single pots of the so very useful Pearlescent Mica Powder.

All for now. Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  17. Morning Julia,
    Lovely card, the background papers are so nice, but it seems strange for you to use papers instead of creating your own backgrounds.

  24. Lovely card. My Cosmic Pearl Glue "exploded" yesterday, not sure if it got too hot or cold but when I pressed the lid blew off and I was a bit messy to say the least. Guess it's time to restock!
