Hi Bloggers.
Forgot to tell you yesterday that the 'white' Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Texture Pastes are now in stock in my Amazon Store - Frosty Dawn here and Icicle Blue here.
Here's today's card -
For the background, I started by spritzing a piece of Coconut Card with Scarlet Sunrise Cosmic Shimmer Ink Spray Mist. I popped a little Russet Red Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Paint on to my Craft Sheet. I picked a little up on a piece of Cut n Dry Foam and 'inked' through a section of the Floral Frame Mask in each corner of the card.
I stamped the For You Stamp using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Scarlet Sunrise Ink Spray Mist, Enchanted Gold and Golden Pear from the Cosmic Shimmer Garden Tones Watercolour Paint Set. For the frame, I mixed a little Enchanted Gold Watercolour with a little Scarlet Sunrise Ink Spray Mist. I cut it out using Spellbinders Grand Rectangles and inked through the die with Festive Berries Distress Ink.
I cut a piece of Black Card and ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Elite M-Bossabilities Folder. I 'inked' around the edges with Russet Red Shimmer Paint using Cut n Dry Foam.
I tied a bow using Black Crochet Ribbon. I cut a small flower from Sue's Classic Rose Die Set, inking around the edges with a little Festive Berries Distress Ink. I added a Black Vintage Button.
I assembled the card as shown adding some Black Pearls to the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Black Pearl around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

Not to sure if you read these Julia. But the card I won arrived yesterday and it's stunning. I'm going to frame it and put it up on my wall.
