Simply Fabulous

Hi Bloggers.

In case you missed it, Sue's dies are now back in stock in my Amazon Store. You can see them here.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I used a paper from the Teresa Collins 8 x 8 Paper Pad. I did stamp the Scented Corner in the right hand corners using Aged Mahogany Distress Ink but it didn't really show up as the stamp has very fine lines.

I stamped the Art Deco Delight using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Lava Black Aurora Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles and inked through the die with Aged Mahogany. I cut a frame out of Rich Red Card, again using Radiant Rectangles.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the image, again using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Lava Black Aurora. I cut it out using another Radiant Rectangles die and inked through the die with Aged Mahogany.

I tied a bow using Black/Ivory Striped Grosgrain Ribbon. I made a flower using Heartfelt Creations Posy Patch Dies. I added a Black 8mm Pearl to the centre and surrounded it with Silver Stickles.


I assembled the card as shown adding a Black 8mm Pearl in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Silver Lustre Pearlescent PVA around the edges.

I'll be back tomorrow with a sneak peek from Saturday's shows.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  9. Morning Julia, As 'baconbits' says above, this sentiment is so right for this card - 'Simply Fabulous'. This could have been a card for tomorrow, Valentine's Day, with the black/red/white colour combo, very saucy and romantic.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx

  24. Hi Julia,
    You've got me thinking with this card! Now that in itself is quite an achievement! I'm afraid I tend to use soft pastel colours, white on white and if I'm being brave some black goes in!! Now I'm actually really thinking about introducing a touch of red!
    Thanks once again for a lovely card and taking me outside my comfort zone! Look forward to sneaky peek and Saturday's Shows!
    Safe travel.
    Love Myra
