Simply Fabulous

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I simply ran a piece of Milk Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Super Plush Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Dusty Concord Distress Ink.

I stamped the Perfume Background using Dusty Concord Distress Ink and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics B and inked through the die with Dusty Concord.

I stamped the Art Deco Delight using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Silver Shine Metallic Embossing Powder from the Metallics Embossing Powder Set. I cut it out using scissors and coloured some sections in using Lapis Lavender Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Summer Shades Mica Spray Set.

 I stamped the sentiment that comes with the image, again using Perfect Medium and embossed with Silver Powder. I cut it out using a Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles Die (yep - I have got that right!) and inked through the die with Dusty Concord.

I tied a bow using Purple/Ivory Striped Grosgrain. I pressed a Dazzler Setting into Perfect Medium, added Silver Powder and heat set. I added a Frosted Violet Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding a Cream 8mm Pearl in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pastel PVA in Pastel Lilac around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
