Thinking of you

Hi Bloggers.

This card was a demo from Thursday's show -

For the background, I picked a paper from the Teresa Collins 8 x 8 Paper Pad, covered it with a piece of Double-Sided Self Adhesive Sheet and then Glass Micro Beads.

I stamped the Heartfelt Creations Majestic Collage onto a piece of Milk Card using Coffee Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I tore around the edges and then inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the Heartfelt Creations Vintage Morning Background onto another Teresa Collins Paper using Coffee Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using the Heartfelt Creations Majestic Blooms Die. I selected some flowers, shaped them and stacked them on top of one another securing with Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue to make 2 flowers. I cut some more flowers out of Khaki Card using the Majestic Blooms Die. With the stamp in my hand, I added some of the design from the top section of the Raindrops on Roses Birthday stamp to each flower using Coffee Archival. I then edged each flower with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I shaped the flowers and stacked them up as before. I added a Brown Brad to the centre of each.



I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Everyday Expressions Stamp Set using Coffee Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Rectangles and inked through the die with Vintage Photo.

I tied a bow using Chalk White American Seam Binding, I spritzed it with water, screwed it up and dried it with my heat tool. I added a Vintage Metal Button.

I assembled the card as shown adding an 8mm Cream Pearl to each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Olympic Gold around the edges.

If you want to see me demo this card you can still see it on the schedule for last Thursday (16th) 9am show on the Create & Craft website.

Sam Poole has shows today on Create & Craft at 11am and 4pm. Hope you can tune in.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    Morning Julia
    I don't think my message came through - love this card - great to have all the flowers together on a die. Which paper pad did you use for the background with the clock on it

      Hi Carol, just noticed you asked the question about the background with the clock on it, that is the collage stamp, hope this helps.
      Lots of love from Patricia xx

    Hi Julia,

    Really love everything about your card. Thank you. My order from your show came yesterday but not had time to play yet. I would if there was more hours in a day!!! I missed Sam's show but I am not into Zentangle so am not as bothered as I would be if I missed yours.

    Much love,

    Shirley T. xxx

    Whilst I missed the show the other morning I have taken the plunge and ordered this stamp and the flowers and corresponding die as this is the year I really get to grips with stamping and this seemed an ideal way to get me going!! Best wishes Jackie D

    Hi Julia,
    Have watched your Show on record! Sat down with coffee to watch 4pm Show - but no Julia! However pleased you were able to go home early.
    My floral die came on Thursday. Ordered the gold card from your Show. Thanks for all the clear instructions on the flowers. Did as you suggested and have just played around with different card. So far so good!

    Today's card lovely too. Thank you
    Love Myra
