For You

Hi Bloggers.

Just in case you missed it - I now have the Spellbinders Tool n One in stock - please see this post for details.

This card was submitted for the latest project book but but sadly didn't make it.

For the background, I randomly stamped the Ruler A6 Stamp using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. Then, I repeated the process with the Vintage Tapestry A6 Stamp. Finally, I filled in some gaps using the Beaded Flourish Single Stamp, again using Tumbled Glass. I then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Extra Loren Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design. I rubbed some Creative Expressions Pearl Moon Gilding Wax all over. Once dry, I inked around the edges with Tumbled Glass.

I stamped the Delicate Lily Stamp using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Matt Drawing Inks. I used Sea View and Soft Moss from the Garden Twist Set. I cut out using Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large and inked through the die with Tumbled Glass. I cut a Spellbinders Pearl Effects and inked through the die with Tumbled Glass.

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 Spellbinders Gold Squares One within a Spellbinders Classic Squares Large Die. After embossing, I removed the Gold Die and inked through the remaining die with Tumbled Glass.

I tied a bow using White Crochet Ribbon and added a Frosted Blue Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding a White 5mm Pearl to each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Summer Blue Pearlescent PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
