Peace

Hi Bloggers.

Had a lovely day at Domino Crafts yesterday - lots of giggles! Thanks to those of you who stopped by.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I stamped the Justrite Diamond Filigree Background stamp towards the right-hand side using Ginger Adirondack Dye Ink Pad. I then stamped the Justrite Tulip Damask Background Stamp onto the remainder of the card using Latte Adirondack Dye Ink Pad. I made sure the ink was dry and ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Small Dots Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Latte Ink. I wrapped a piece of Champagne Silky Crush around to hide the join.


I stamped the frame from the Justrite Magnolia Vintage Labels 7 Clear Stamp Set using Ginger Ink and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using a Justrite Vintage Labels 7 Die and inked through the die with Latte Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Latte Ink and embossed with Clear Powder.I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Tag Dies and inked through the die with Latte Ink.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of the Champagne Silky Crush Ribbon and added a Vintage Bronze Button.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Cream Mini Swirls, some Cream Pearls in the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Vanilla PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
