Find True Joy

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I simply ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Large Polka Dots Mask and inked around the edges with Dusty Concord Distress Ink.

I stamped the sentiment and the frame from the Justrite Black-Eyed Susan Vintage Labels Five Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels Five and inked through the die with Dusty Concord.

I cut out a couple of Spellbinders Labels 22 and added a Black Rhinestone Labels 22 Nestabling to each one.

I made 3 scrunched up flowers using Spellbinders Labels 24. I will try and demo this technique again in my shows on 26th - can't promise that though! Instead of leaves, I added a Black Swirl.

I assembled the card as hown adding some Black Pearls in 3 corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Black Pearl around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  14. Hi Julia,

    Love the card. Thank you. Have mastered flowers made with the blossom flowers die after your demo on C&C but never thought about using other dies. Will certainly have a try.

    Much love,

  26. Beautiful card Julia. I agree very much with Myra, we can always depend on you to go into depth the way you explain certain methods, tips etc, I dont know what we'd do without Sue, you and now Kim and Nikki to help us so much. Thanks ladies.
    Hugs.

  27. Gorgeous card today, love the purple and black together against the white.
    The flowers look amazing , are they made similar to the ones using the mini tags from spellbinders d lites ? They look amazing , you are such a clever crafter. I wish my imagination was as good I tend to stick to basic cards as my creative side isn't great, though I'm slowly getting better with cards, I still haven't got the hang of matting and late ring I normally go for one background paper / card and work up from there pm I must get more adventurous !
