Hello My Friend

Hi Bloggers.

I'm demoing at Sunrise Crafts at Wombourne Garden Centre all day today. If you're in the area, please stop by and say hi.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Petal Pleasures Embossing Folder. I ran it though a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Faded Jeans Distress Ink. I wrapped a piece of White Satin Edged Organza around the centre.

I stamped the Floral Cartouche Stamps to Die For using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Distress Markers. I used Salty Ocean, Evergreen Bough, Mowed Lawn and Squeezed Lemonade. I pulled some of the colour out using my Tim Holtz Water Brush. I cut it out using the largest die from the Granada Die Set from Sue's Spanish Collection. I inked through the die with Faded Jeans. I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Gratitudes Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using the smallest die in the Granada Set and inked through the die with Faded Jeans.

I cut 4 corners out of some blue card from my stash using the Spanish Collection Corner, Border & Tag Set inking through the die with Faded Jeans. I tied a bow using White Satin Edged Organza and added a Frosted Blue Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown, piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
