Pamper Yourself

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I first cut an edge die and an insert die from the Spellbinders Classic Triple Scallop Edgeabilities Die Set onto some Coconut White Card. I then popped it onto one side of the Spellbinders Garden Lattice M-Bossabilities Folder with the cutting edge of the dies face up, away from the folder. I added the tan mat (to make up the thickness of the folder) and the raspberry plate then popped it through the Grand Calibur. 

I stamped the Engraved Elegance perfume bottle using Perfect Medium and embossed with Olympic Gold Lustre Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Lattice Rectangles and inked through the die with Antique Linen Distress Ink.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the image using Perfect Medium and embossed with Olympic Gold Lustre. I cut it out using Spellbinders Branching Out and inked through the die with Antique Linen.

I made a flower using Heartfelt Creations Posy Patch Dies, adding a Cream 8mm Pearl to the centre. I cut some leaves using Heartfelt Creations Classic Leaf Die Set.

I assembled the card as shown adding some more Cream Pearls to the top corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pastel Yellow PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  13. Morning Julia, A stunning, stunning, card. I'm so loving the taupe-looking card you have used, and also the edge die and embossing, the flower is gorgeous and I'm loving the 'pinching' at the ends of the petals, so, so effective. Stunning.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx
