Loves Me - Loves me Not

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I started by spritzing with Purple Orchid Cosmic Shimmer Vintage Ink Spray Mist. I popped a little Pearl and Violet Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Paints onto my Craft Sheet and mixed them together. I picked some up onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam and 'inked' through one of the designs in the Ornate Elements Mask in each corner. With the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped a section of the Justrite Sweet Lace Background Stamp using Dusty Concord Distress Ink. Again, with the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped the Taylored Expressions Daisy Bouquet image using Dusty Concord. Once the ink was dry I ran the background through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations My Garden Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Dusty Concord using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the Taylored Expressions Daisy Bouquet onto Mauve Card using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer True White Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders 5 x 7 Elegant Labels 4 and inked through the die with Dusty Concord.

I stamped the sentiment from the Daisy Bouquet set, again using Perfect Medium and embossed with True White Detail Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Romantic Rectangles 2 and inked through the die with Dusty Concord.

I tied a bow using White Crochet Ribbon and added some White Pearl String and a Frosted Violet Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding a White 8mm Pearl to each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pastel Lilac PVA around the edges.

I'll be back tomorrow with a sneak peek from Tuesday's shows.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  34. Hi Julia

    Well, if I was fashionably late posting on Sue Wilsons blog I have turned up after last orders here!

    I had to comment though, I love the background here, I mean L.O.V.E!!! It's amazing and exactly the sort of thing I (aspire to) do.

    Great colours and 2 of the Spellbinders shapes I love though yet to get these newer editions, on 'the list' though!

    Crafty hugs

    Now off to set the sky box!
