Treat Yourself!

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the main background, I ran a piece of Black Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Fauna Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and then rubbed Cast Bronze Gilding Wax over the surface.

For the panel on the side, I dusted a piece of Coconut White Card with my anti static bag and then stamped one of the leaves from the Creative Expressions Autumn Leaves Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer True White Detail Embossing Powder. I inked with Butterscotch and Terra Cotta Adirondack Dye Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I used a piece of Kitchen Roll to remove the ink from the leaves.

Unfortunately, the doily die I used on this card was not available when I did the shows so when I demoed this card I used the Coutured Creations Dazzling Die. I inked it with Butterscotch and Terra Cotta Adirondack.

I stamped the dress from the Creative Expressions Belle of the Ball Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Cosmic Tone from the Cosmic Shimmer Skin Tones Matt Drawing Ink Set, Yellow Ultra and Orange Mica Powders from the Cosmic Shimmer Autumn Sunset Mica Spray Set. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 28 and inked through the die with Butterscotch Aditondack.

I stamped the sentiment from the Belle of the Ball Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Distressed Edges and inked through the die with Butterscotch Adirondack.

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

Thanks for stopping by.
