You're the best!

Hi Bloggers.

Quite a clean card today -

For the background, I simply ran a piece of Milk Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Petal Pleasures Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Dried Marigold Distress Ink. I wrapped a piece of Cream Satin Edged Ribbon around the centre.

I stamped the Crystal Swirl Vase using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Pastel Peach Embossing Powder. I cut it our using scissors.

 I stamped the single daisy from the Daisy Spray Stamp Set using Coffee Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Distress Markers. I used Gathered Twigs, Evergreen Bough and Ripe Persimmon, pulling some of the colour out using my Tim Holtz Water Brush.

I placed the vase over the stem of the flower where I wanted it and selected a die to fit. I chose Spellbinders Decorative Labels 8. I removed the vase and cut out. I inked through the die with Dried Marigold. I glued the vase in place using Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the Cut Glass Vase, using Coffee Archival and embossed with Clear Powder.  I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels 4 and inked through the die with Dried Marigold.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Cream Pearls to the right-hand corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  18. Hi Julia
    Today's card is stunning. I love the crystal vase and the flowers. Not to sure if these are new or not. Unless you've shown them on a show just recently. I think I have 2 more of yours to watch.

    Lovely understated elegant card today... love the embossing folder and the embossing powders - are they new and if so, will you be stocking them Julia?
    Think I could replicate this card for my friends birthday next month - if I start now it could be ready in time - LOL
    Enjoy your Sunday.

  28. Hi Julia,
    I know I'm often late but I'm really late today!
    Family have just gone - been crafting with the children and my kitchen looks like a bomb site! Thought I'd sit down for a few minutes before the big tidy up! They've gone off happy with what they made and that's the main thing!
    Today's card is lovely. It is such a soft almost gentle card! I love the shading and your flower is gorgeous!
    Trust you had a good day yesterday.
    Love Myra
