Life is better with you in it

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I stamped the Creative Expressions Wrought Iron Corner in each corner using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Gold Detail Embossing Powder. I then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Thinking of You Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design.

I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Creations Timeless Sentiments Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Gold Detail Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Pearl Effects and cut a Spellinders Fancy Postage Edge Die out of Soft Gold Card.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Champagne Silky Crush Ribbon and added a Vintage Metal Button.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    Morning Julia and Wattsonettes. That's it for another year, just hope I feel more like enjoying it next year.
    Love todays card. I have the singles butterfly corner you showed on your last lot of shows (already pre-set to record the next shows) the corner stamp I have is so pretty, and not even thought about using bits of it - see Julia just how much we need your shows (and more of them) as you always help and guide us in directions we would otherwise not think of.
    Sending love and hugs to all.
    Stay safe in these awful gales again.

    Morning Julia, Wow !! this card is stunning, I am not usually a 'less is more' girlie, but this card 'sings' to me. I love the colours, love the embossing, love the bow and metal button, and the sentiment is gorgeous.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx
    PS I'm trying to do a 'sort out' in my craft room today, yesterday I got all my 'cut-offs' into my bit box, today it's the stamps turn, they are everywhere haha xx
