Hope you have a Blooming Great Day

Hi Bloggers.

Thanks for all your comments & emails yesterday. Much appreciated as always. No rest for me today as it's a quick turn around with my next shows on Tuesday.

There was a question in the show with Steph about what ink to use on acetate,  I said either Archival or Stazon forgetting, of course, that you could use Heat Emboss Acetate and then use Perfect Medium with any embossing powder of your choice. In fact, I thought that the vases would look great stamped onto some acetate treated with the Caught in Crystal Technique. So many ideas and so little time!

Here's today's card -

For the background, I inked up the Justrite Secret Garden Background using Perfect Medium and stamped it onto Black Card. I dusted Red Fire, Frosted Lemon and Frosted Scarlet Mica Powders from the Cosmic Shimmer Subtle Shades Mica Spray Set all over the design.

I stamped the sentiment from the Scrollwork Vase Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with new Cosmic Shimmer Pastel Pink Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels 7. I cut a Spellbinders Decorative Labels 8 out of Coconut White Card.

I stamped the single rose from the Floral Spray Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured it in using Mowed Lawn Distress Marker, pulling the colour out using a Tim Holtz Water Brush, and Pink Ultra Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Garden Flora Mica Spray Set. I cut it out using scissors, going around the edges with a black marker pen to hide any white bits.

I tied a bow using White Satin Edged Organza and added a Pink Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearls and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pastel Pink PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
