Happy Birthday

Hi Bloggers.

I have shows today on Create & Craft with Martyn at 9am and with Leonie at 3pm. Hope you can join me.

If you follow Julia Watts Crafts on Facebook, you can see photos of the samples here.

No dies on the shows today. Any products I have in stock on my website are highlighted - just click on the highlighted text and you'll be taken straight to the product page.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I first spritzed a piece of Coconut White Card with Buttercup Cosmic Shimmer Ink Spray Mist. Then I 'inked' through the Floral Frame Mask using a litle Topaz Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Paint using a little Cut n Dry Foam. 

I stamped the Taylored Expressions Daisy Bouquet using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Cosmic Shimmer Blue Lace Matt Drawing in from the Soft Velvet Set (for the water in the vase), Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Paints in Harvest Gold, Topaz, Malachite and Pearl. I mixed the Topaz with the Harvest Gold for a lighter orange. I mixed the Topaz with the Malachite for the green seed heads. I mixed a little Pearl with Scattered Straw Distress Ink for the centre of the daisies. Sorry the shimmer doesn't come across in the photos.

I cut the image out using the 2 largest dies in Sue's Decorative Frame Set from the Italian Collection and inked through the die with Scattered Straw Distress Ink.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, again using Jet Black Archival and embossed with clear powder. I cut it out using a Spellbinders Luscious Labels One Die and inked through the die with Scattered Straw.

I made a bow out of Custard Card using Sue's Classic 3d Bow Die Set. I hadn't intended putting a bow there but needed to hide a dirty mark. Lol!

I assembled the card as shown adding some Cream Pearls in the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Olympic Gold around the edges.

See you later!

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
