Happy Birthday

Hi Bloggers.

Thanks for your emails and comments here on the blog yesterday. Much appreciated as always.

Here's a demo card from yesterday -

One of my messy backgrounds on this one. I started with the Justrite Dotted Fronds Background and with the stamp in my hand I randomly stamped using Spun Sugar Distress Ink. I repeated the process with the Justrite Sweet Lace Background and Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. Then I repeated the process with the Wrought Iron Corner Stamp (again in my hand) with Tattered Rose Distress Ink. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Happy Birthday Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Spun Sugar using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the Basketweave Purse using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Silver Shine Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Pearl Effects and inked through the die with Spun Sugar. I coloured in with a mix of Rose Hue Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Circus Brights Mica Spray Set and Pearlescent Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Metallics Mica Spray Set, plus Silver Mica Powder from the Metallics set along the top of the purse.

I stamped the sentiment that somes with the Basketweave Purse, again using Perfect Medium and embossed with Silver Shine Detail Powder.

 I made some flowers out of felt from the Vintage Felt Pack and Spellbinders Spiral Blossom Three (die on Sue's shows tomorrow) and cut some leaves out of silver card using Heartfelt Creations Classic Leaf Die Set.

 I assembled the card as shown adding an 8mm White Pearl to 3 of the corners and some dots of the new Pastel Pink Cosmic Shimmer Pastel PVA around the edges.

Don't forget that Sue has 2 shows today on Create & Craft - 12noon (2 hours) and 5pm.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
