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.
Morning Julia.

ReplyDeleteHi Julia,
ReplyDeleteI 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
Really classy card! xx
