Herbal Collage
Hi Bloggers.
Here's today's card - I know it won't be to everyone's taste but be kind!
For the background, I stamped the Botanical Swirl 4 times towards the corners using Dusty Concord Distress Ink. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with Sue's Art Deco Fanfare Embossing Folder and inked around the edges with Dusty Concord.
I stamped the Herbal Collage using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using a selection Cosmic Shimmer Ink Spray Mists. I used Grape Crush, Buttercup, Chestnut, Soft Moss and Soft Bilberry. I tore around the edges of the image and inked with Dusty Concord. I cut a Spellbinders Labels 29 out of Amethyst Card and at the emboss stage added the Arabesque Mask.
I mixed a little Cosmic Shimmer Ivory PVA with water and brushed it over a Small Fancy Pearl Embellishment. I tied a bow using Purple/Ivory Striped Grosgrain, added a Metal Dazzler Setting and popped the Small Fancy Pearl Embellishment in the centre.
I assembled the card as shown adding a Pearl Swirl, some Cream Pearls in the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Ivory PVA around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Bloggers.
Here's today's card -
For the background, I started by randomly inking through the Lattice Mask with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. It's hard to see but I then I randomly stamped the ornate swirly design from the Justrite Grateful Hearts Stamp Set using Spun Sugar Distress Ink. With the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped a section of the Rose Corner Stamp with Victorian Velvet. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Exotic Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and then inked around the edges with Spun Sugar. I cut 3 corners out of Pearlescent Card using Spellbinders Lace Hearts Die Set.
I stamped the sentiment and the frame from the Justrite Sweet Hearts Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Lapis Pink Aurora Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Lace Hearts and inked through the die with Spun Sugar. I cut the other large heart die from the set out of Pearlescent Card.
I made a scrunched flower using Spellbinders Bossom 5 and touched the edges with Spun Sugar. I cut some leaves using Heartfelt Creations Sweet Juliet Die Set.
I assembled the card as shown adding a 5mm White Pearl to the die cuts in the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Cosmic Pearl around the edges.

Be Mine
Hi Bloggers.
A mix of cards over the next couple of weeks as my Toolshed which was supposed to be this weekend has been put back to May 11th (but could change again!).
Here's today's card -
For the background, I popped my tan mat onto my base plate. I dusted a piece of Coconut White Card with my anti static bag and placed it dusted side up on my tan mat. I inked up the Heart Confetti Mask with Perfect Medium and placed it inked side down on top of the dusted card. I added the pink embossing plate and ran it through the Grand Calibur. The ink transferred to the debossed pattern. I added Cosmic Shimmer Blue Maroon Aurora Embossing Powder tapped off the excess and heat set. I then covered it with a piece of Self Adhesive Sheet and added Glass Micro Beads. I wrapped a piece of White Crochet Ribbon around the centre.
I cut a Spellbinders Decorative Labels One out of Rich Plum Card. I stamped the heart frame and the sentiment from the Justrite Sweet Hearts Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Blue Maroon Aurora. I cut it out using a Spellbinders Lace Hearts Die and inked thorugh the die with Seedless Preserves Distress Ink. I cut the other Spellbinders Lace Hearts Die and after the emboss stage left the card in the die. Then I stamped through the die with the Creative Expressions Rose Corner Stamp. I cleaned the excess in from the die, made sure the image was dry and then inked though the die with Seedless Preserves.
I made some flowers and leaves using the Heartfelt Creations Sweet Juliet Die Set.
I assembled the card as shown adding a White 8mm Pearl in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Crystal Sparkle PVA around the edges.
