In the Garden of Life

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I randomly inked through the Eyelet Lace Mask with Dried Marigold Distress Ink. I repeated the process with the Knitted Mask and Bundled Sage Distress Ink. I then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations My Garden Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Dried Marigold.

I stamped the image from the Heartfelt Creations Majestic Morning Bouquet Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Pastel Orange from the Cosmic Shimmer Pastels Watercolour Paint Set and Golden Pear Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Garden Flora Mica Spray Set. I cut it out using Spellbinders Decorative Labels One and inked through the die with Dried Marigold.

I cut one of the Heartfelt Creations Raindrops on Roses Dies out of Apricot Card and inked through the die with Dried Marigold.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Natures Sentiments Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders A2 Curved Matting Basics B and inked through the die with Dried Marigold.

I tied a little bow using Chalk White American Seam Binding. I popped a little Cosmic Pearl PVA onto my craft sheet and mixed in a little Pastel Orange Watercolour. I painted this onto a Small Fancy Pearl Embellishment.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Cream Pearls in the corners and some dots of Cosmic Pearl PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
