Especially For You

Hi Bloggers.

I have shows today on Create & Craft at 9am with Nigel and 2pm with Steph. Hope you can join me. It looks like the 9am show is being repeated at 12noon on Craft Extra. The 2pm show is scheduled to be repeated on Create & Craft at 8pm today and then the 9am is scheduled for a repeat at 7am tomorrow morning.  Remember, you can usually watch recordings of the shows online, just click on the play icon next to the show in the TV schedule.

Here's today's card -

Another messy background - you should all be quite proficient at these now! I used Milk Card. First, I randomly inked through the Squared Mask with Bundled Sage Distress Ink, then repeated with the Delicate Mask and Scattered Straw Distress Ink. Then, with the stamp ink my hand, randomly stamped the Heartfelt Creations Script Key Background using Bundled Sage and the new Creative Expressions Swirl Background using Scattered Straw. I made sure the ink was dry and ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Paradise Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Scattered Straw.

I stamped the Dahlia from the Heartfelt Creations Dahlia Cluster Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed using Cosmic Shimmer Gold Detail Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks - Sunflower from the Summer Fayre Set and Soft Moss from the Garden Twist Set. I cut it out using Spellbinders A2 Curved Matting Basics A and inked through the die with Scattered Straw.

I cut a Spellbinders Fleur De Lys Rectangle out of Custard Card and inked through the die with Scattered Straw.

I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Creations Burnished Key Hole Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Gold Detail Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Decorative Labels 22 and inked through the die with Scattered Straw. I coloured the flourish in using Sunflower Matt Drawing Ink. I added another key that I had left over from another project, over the top of the gold one.

I assembled the card as shown adding an 8mm Cream Pearl in each corner, a pearl swirl and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Pearl PVA in Crystal around the edges.

See you later !

Thanks for stopping by.
