Thank You for Being There

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

A bit of a messy background on this one. I used Peach Card. I stamped the wider border from the Couture Creations Pattern Quilt 3 in 1 set randomly across the card using Dried Marigold Distress Ink. Then I randomly stamped some of the flowers from the same set using Coffee Archival. I made sure the ink was dry and then san it through the Grand Calibur with the embossing folder that comes in the Party Time set. I rubbed Enchanted Gold Gilding Wax all over. Once dry I inked around the edges with Dried Marigold.

I cut 3 strips of Apricot Card and ran them through the Grand Calibur one at a time in the second section down of the Pattern Quilt folder. I dusted them with my anti static bag and then stamped the other border from the set using Perfect Medium. I mixed a little Cosmic Shimmer Copper Mica Powder with some Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder, added this to the stamped images and heat set.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Gratitudes Stamp Set using Coffee Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Fancy Ribbon Threader and inked through the die with Dried Marigold Distress Ink. I threaded some Blue White American Seam Binding through the slots in the die cut. I tied a bow using 3 lengths of the Seam Binding.

I stamp 1 small flower and 2 large flowers from the Pattern Quilt set using Coffee Archival. I cut them out using the corresponding dies and added a Cream Pearl to the centres.

I assembled the card as shown adding some more cream pearls to the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Golden Pearl around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.
