Circle of Friends

Hi Bloggers.

Thanks for all the emails yesterday and the comments here on the blog. Much appreciated as always.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I simply ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Irish Clubs Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Lemonade Adirondack Dye Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the Justrite Leafy Background using Pesto Adirondack Dye Ink. I stamped the Justrite Dotted Fronds Background using Butterscotch Adirondack Dye Ink. I cut 2 swatches out of each of them using Spellbinders Square Swatches. I cut 4 Spellbinders Marvelous Squares dies out of Custard Card.

I stamped the image from the Justrite Circle of Friends Vintage Labels Three Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Lemonade, Butterscotch and Pesto Adirondack Dye Inks.

I stamped the frame from the same stamp set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Olympic Gold Lustre Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels Three Dies. I cut a Couture Creations Elegant Motif die out of Coconut White Card and inked through the die with Lemonade Dye Ink.

I tied a bow using White Crochet Ribbon and added a Bronze Vintage Button.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearls in the corners, a couple of White Mini Pearl Swirls and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Cosmic Pearl around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
