Hi Bloggers.
Great news! Sue Wilson has released her own range of dies. I have ordered the whole range and they should be available in my Amazon Store very shortly. I have tested alot of the dies and I can report that they cut beautifully and there are certainly alot of yummy designs in the range.
I am out of stock of some stamps but I have ordered some more and they should be here very soon.
Here's today's card -
For the background, I stamped the Scented Border on both sides using Perfect Medium and then embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Copper Bronze Lustre Embossing Powder. I used a dry wetwipe to wipe away the excess mica powder. I then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Garden Lattice A4 Embossing Folder (I used one of the de-boss patterns). I inked around the edges with Tea Dye Distress Ink.
I stamped the Art Deco Delight image using Perfet Medium and embossed with Copper Bronze Lustre. I cut it out using scissors. I cut a Spellbinders Floral Ovals Die. At the emboss stage I added the Delicate Mask. I inked through the die with Tea Dye.
I stamped the sentiment that comes with the image, again using Perfect Medium and embossed with Copper Bronze Lustre. I cut it out using a Spellbinders Branching Out Die and inked through the die with Tea Dye.
Imade a scrunched up flower using Heartfelt Creations Posy Patch Dies (you can still see how to do this on the Create & Craft website. Just go to the TV schedule, select Tuesday 4th Feb, scroll down to the 3pm show and you can watch the whole show, This was the first demo in that hour). I added a little Tea Dye to the petals after completing the flower. I cut a couple of leaves using the Heartfelt Creations Classic Leaf Die Set.
I assembled the card as shown adding some Cream Pearls to the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pastel Lemon PVA around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.
Hi Julia, the sentiment describes this card perfectly - Simply Fabulous, love the rust coloured card with the bronze embossing. Tea Dye distress is one of my most used inks. Looking forward to Sue's Dies, and what both of you come up with using them. Bx

Good morning Julia today's card is gorgeous. Thank you for ordering in Sue's new dies I know where to come to get them. I think they will sell out quickly. That new bow is fantastic. I can't wait to see it on some of your cards. Have a great day. Love Jackie
ReplyDeleteHi Julia
ReplyDeleteI wish Sue all the best with her collection, what I've seen so far is gorgeous.
I love the way you make the flowers on C and C, it's really clear to follow, gorgeous card too. Maybe an idea could be a DVD with Julia's techniques?
special tips like making flowers from certain dies or stamps and shaping them too or tips with embossing and embossing folders etc ?
Then all the tips you provide on the shows would be at hand in one place. x
Morning Julia, Fabulous news about Sue's new dies, the samples on her Blog are stunning, I especially love the bow and the border, I have no doubt they will be loved by all.
ReplyDeleteYour card is truly gorgeous, I love the scented border and the art deco perfume bottle stamps, and the flower and foliage are stunning.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
