Wonderful Friend

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I started by stamping across the top and the bottom of a piece of Coconut White Card with one of the borders from the Justrite Ribbon, Tape and Lace Clear Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Openwork Mask, hanging the edge of the mask outside the machine. I ran it through a second time to extend the design.

I stamped the Justrite Rose Postcard Background using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I placed a Spellbinders Classic Squares over a section of the image and drew around the outside edge with a pencil, missing out the leaves and butterfly. I removed the die and cut around the leaves and butterfly, cutting in further than the pencil line. I added the die to the image again, making sure the leaves and the butterflies were hanging over the die i.e. away from the cutting edge. I then ran it though the Grand Calibur. I cut a Spellbinders Luscious Labels One out of Black Card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Pansies in Spring Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels 7 Dies and cut a Spellbinders A2 Devine Eleoquence Die out of Black Card.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Black Silky Crush Ribbon and added a White Crystal Sparkler.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Black Pearl PVA around the edges.

I'l be back tomorrow with a sneak peek from Thursday's shows.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
