Let's get together

Hi Bloggers.

Thanks for all the emails and comments here on the blog - much appreciated as always. Also thanks for all the orders at my Amazon Store.

I'm sorry, I have not had chance to post some new Blog Candy yet. I will try and do that later today.

The Creative Expressions Blog Hop starts at 10am today on the Creative Expressions Blog with the first stop here so please be sure to join in. I have prizes to give away so don't miss out.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I started by inking through a section of the Ornate Frame Mask in each corner of a piece of Coconut White Card using Pool Adirondack Dye Ink. I then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Grand Jo Jo Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Pool Ink.

I cut a Spellbinders Ornate Squares out of Aqua Card. I stamped the Wirework Frame using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Silver Shine Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using scissors, cutting the nobbly bits off the outside of the frame to make cutting easier. I stamped the sentiment from the All Occasions Sentiments Stamp Set, using Perfect Medium and added Silver Detail Powder - I did not heat set at this point. I then stamped the inner frame area of the Wirework Frame around the sentiment, again using Perfect Medium, added Silver Powder and heat set the lot. I cut it out using scissors and popped it on top of the larger frame using 3d Foam.

I cut some leaves out of Aqua Card using Sue's Faux Quilled Leaves Die Set. I made a couple of leaves using White Crochet Ribbon.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearls and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Cosmic Pearl around the edges.

Don't forget to stop by again later for the Blog Hop.

All for now.

Julia.
