Hi Bloggers.
The sentiment stamps from last week's shows are back in stock in my Amazon Store here and also a bunch of Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Paints here.
I have a two-fer for you today featuring the For You Stamp.
For the background, I inked through one of the corner sections of the Floral Frame Mask in each corner of a piece of Milk Card using Dusty Concord Distress Ink. I then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Elite M-Bossabilities Folder. I ran it though a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Dusty Concord.
I masked off the 'For' panel and the image panel and stamped the 'you' using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. On a separate piece of card I stamped the 'For' panel and the image panel, again using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut them out using scissors. I placed the 'For' next to the 'you' and selected the Spellbinders Branching Out die. I remove the 'For' and cut out, inking though the die with Dusty Concord Distress Ink. I cut one of Sue's Granada Dies out of Mauve Card. At the emboss stage I added the Tracery Mask and inked through the die with Dusty Concord.
I tied a bow using Purple/Ivory Striped Grosgrain and added a Black Vintage Button.
I assembled the card as shown adding some Cream Pearls to the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Vanilla PVA around the edges.
Here's the second card -
For the background, I simply ran a piece of Mauve Card through the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Regal M-Bossabilities Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Dusty Concord.
I used the image panel left over from the first card. I coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Garden Tones Watercolour Paint Set. I used Violet Frost, Golden Pear and Enchanted Gold.
I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Gratitudes Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using a Granada Die and inked through the die with Dusty Concord.
I cut the largest of the Granada dies and at the emboss stage added the Tracery Mask. I inked through the die with Dusty Concord.
I tied a bow using Purple/Ivory Grosgrain and added a Black Vintage Button.
I assembled the card as shown a Cream 8mm Pearl to each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Vanilla PVA around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.
