Hi Bloggers.
Here's today's card -
For the background, I popped some Violet Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Paint on to my Craft Sheet. I added some Pearl Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Paint and mixed it to produce a lighter colour purple. I used a piece of Cut n Dry Foam to pick up some paint and 'ink' up the Justrite Sweet Lace Background. I stamped it onto Coconut White Card. I re-inked the stamp and extended the design to cover the card. I ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Thinking of You Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Dusty Concord Distress Ink.
I stamped the image from the Taylored Expressions Teacup Bouquet Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Distress Markers. I used Shaded Lilac, Dusty Concord, Mustard Seed, Evergreen Bough and Tumbled Glass. I cut it out using Spellbinders Luscious Labels One and inked through the die with Dusty Concord.
I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using a die from the Spellbinders A2 Devine Eleoquence Die Set and inked through the die with Dusty Concord.
I tied a bow using White Crochet Ribbon and added a Vintage Bronze Button.
I assembled the card as shown adding a White 8mm Pearl in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pastel Lilac PVA around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.
Morning Julia.

ReplyDeleteMorning Julia
ReplyDeleteOoh a luscious violet shimmery background - love all of it!
Hope you get to enjoy some of your Bank Holiday and not prepping all the time. At last I've been going stamping and colouring crazy with the rose postcard and trying the technique with cutting some of the rose and butterfly to lay over the top... now to put the cards together - certainly takes me a while!!! But worth it eventually!
Hello to Christine when she pops by.

Hi Julia,
ReplyDeleteLovely card today and lovely colours used.
One photograph in particular really shows of the shimmer in the background. It looks beautiful. I do like the teacup but I have another teacup stamp with a rose in the saucer so can't really justify another one. I'm trying to restrained at the moment - for how long will that last?
Lovely day here , hope it's nice where you are!
Love Myra
Ps. Many thanks Julia for all your hard work.
