Where there is love

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I stamped the leaves image from the Justrite Home Tweet Home Clear Stamp Set around the edges of a piece of Milk Card using Raisin Adirondack Dye Ink. 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 Raisin Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the Creative Expressions Fern Fronds Background onto some copy paper and then onto some Milk Card (without re-inking) using Meadow Adirondack Dye Ink. I wanted a lighter image that's obtained from 2nd generation stamping. I made sure the ink was dry, dusted it with my anti static bag and stamped the Birdhouse from the Home Tweet Home Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using scissors and went around the edges with a Black Marker Pen to hide any white bits.

I stamped the Justrite Stitched Circles using Raisin Adirondack. I made sure the ink was dry and cut a Spellbinders Lace Hearts Die from it and inked through the die with Raisin Ink.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Home Tweet Home Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels 7 Dies and inked through the die with Raisin Ink.

I cut the largest die in Sue's Valencia Die Set (Spanish Collection) out of Brunswick Green Card. At the emboss stage I added the Openwork Mask.

I tied a bow using Green/Ivory Striped Grosgrain and added a Bronze Vintage Button.

I assembled the card as shown adding a Cream 8mm Pearl in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Vintage Golden Green around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
