Simply Fabulous

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I started by spritzing a piece of Milk Card with Egyptian Blue Cosmic Shimmer Vintage Mister. I randomly inked through the Delicate Mask using Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink. I repeated the process with the Funky Mask using Faded Jeans Distress Ink. Then, with the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped the Floral Background using Faded Jeans. I repeated the process using the Fern Background using Chipped Sapphire. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Garden Lattice M-Bossabilities Folder. I inked around the edges with Faded Jeans and then ran some Waterfall Stickles around the edges. I put it aside to dry.

I stamped the Art Deco Delight perfume bottle using Perfect Medium and embossed using Cosmic Shimmer Steel Blue Aurora Embossing Powder. I dotted a little of the mister onto a tile and used it to add a bit of colour to the image as shown. I cut it out using Spellbinders Fancy Postage Edge and inked through the die with Faded Jeans.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the image. again using Perfect Medium and embossed with Steel Blue Aurora. I cut it out using Spellbinders Diamond Effects and inked through the die with Faded Jeans.

I tied a bow using Blue/White Striped Grosgrain. I spritzed a piece of card with the Egyptian Blue Mister. I stamped the Fern Background over the top using Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink. I cut some Heartfelt Creations Posy Patch Flowers, shaped them and stacked them up to make a flower. I added a Cream 8mm Pearl and some Waterfall Stickles.

I assembled the card as shown adding a Cream Pearl to each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Summer Blue around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    This morning's Card is Beautiful as always I always love your Backgrounds, I'm never as adventerous as yourself and purchase backing papers and they can be very expensive then I don't like cutting into them (crazy) I Love those Perfume Bottles and The Fabulous Bow and Flower it's just a Stunning Card.

  30. Hi Julia,
    I'm late again! Really like this card - but then I'm a blue fan! Once again your background is lovely! When I think of all the backing papers I bought and do not use it's awful really. Now I really feel I have created something - even if I have pinched some ideas from yourself and Sue!! Hope you had a lovely day yesterday!
    Love the bow and flower !
    Love Myra
