Every Day is a Gift

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Super Powder Puff Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design.

I popped some Cosmic Shimmer Flake & Glitter Glue onto my Craft Sheet. Using a piece of Cut n Dry Foam I picked up some of the glue and dabbed it all over the large stamp in the Creative Expressions Autumn Blessings Stamp Set. I stamped the image onto some card and then cleaned my stamp with a sheet of Grime Boss. The glue remains tacky until you put something on it. I added some Red Speckle Gilding Flakes and removed the excess with a piece of Rubbit Scrubbit.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Silver Shine Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels Four and cut a larger diefrom the same set out of Rich Red Card .

I tied a bow using White Crochet Ribbon and added a Fancy Pearl Embellishment.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
