Just a Note

Hi Bloggers.

Back from Ally Pally. Had a great weekend catching up with the Creative Expressions team and meeting lots of lovely crafters. Looking forward to September already!

Today is my son Nathan's 18th Birthday. Kathryn is visiting so we're out and about, hopefully having a really good day.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I spritzed through the Spellbinders Butterfly Garden Grand Impressabilities with Aqua Breeze Cosmic Shimmer Ink Spray Mist.

 I masked the word panel and the image panel off on the Just a Note Stamp and inked up using Jet Black Archival. I removed the mask and stamped it onto Coconut White Card and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I stamped the word panel and image panel on a separate piece of card, again using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder.

I arranged the panels around the 'a note' and selected Spellbinders Pearl Effects to fit around them. I removed the 2 panels and cut the die. I inked through the die with Faded Jeans Distress Ink.

I coloured the image panel in using the Aqua Breeze Ink Spray Mist and Golden Aqua, Golden Pear and Enchanted Gold from the Cosmic Shimmer Garden Tones Watercolour Paint Set. I also added a little of the Aqua Breeze to the strip under the 'a note'

I tied a bow using Blue/White Striped Grosgrain and added a White Crystal Sparkler.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearls in the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pastel Blue PVA around the edges.

Sue is on Create & Craft this evening at 9pm with a Wedding Show. Hope you can tune in.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
