Hi Bloggers.
Here's today's card -
For the background, I spritzed with Cosmic Shimmer Ink Spray Mist in Buttercup and Cosmic Shimmer Vintage Ink Spray Mist in Marigold. I then randomly inked through the Decorative Mask using Dried Marigold Distress Ink and the Counterpane Mask using Wild Honey Distress Ink. With the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped the Botanical Spray Stamp using Wild Honey. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Hepburn Embossing Powder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Dried Marigold Distress Ink.
I stamped the Zentangled Thinking of You stamp using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer True White Detail Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Nobel Rectangles and inked through the die with Dried Marigold.
I stamped the Mosaic Butterfly using Rusty Hinge and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out and shaped it. I added some bits of a Pearl Swirl to represent the antennae and a trail.
I assembled the card as shown adding a Cream 8mm Pearl in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Ivory Pastel PVA around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

Hi Julia,
ReplyDeleteI like all the various components of today's card - but the colour is not for me! However it would look great in other colours too. My goodies arrived safely, and I love the new CA book! Spent ages reading it over the weekend! So nice to have these books as the pictures and explanations are so clear. Excellent value for money as a monthly magazine can cost almost as much and they are full of advertisements, not to mention things you may not even like!
Have a good week,
Love Myra
Hi Julia - Oops obviously meant CE book ! Apologies!

Hello Julia, I love this card, its colour, and most of all the butterfly which will be top of my list when i come home. Off in the morning cruising around South America and Carr Islands for a month, its hard but someone has to do it.
