Miss You

Hi Bloggers.

I'm off to Creative Expressions HQ today and tomorrow to learn a new craft! That's all I'm saying so don't ask me to tell you more! A tease, I know, sorry!

Here's today's card -

For the background, I inked through the Rosette Mask with Stonewashed Adirondack Dye Ink. I moved the mask along the card to extend the design. I then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Thinking of You Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Stonewashed Ink.

I stamped the Taylored Expressions Mixed Blooms image onto Periwinkle Card using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer True White Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Floral Ovals and inked through the die with Stonewashed Ink.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, again using Perfect Medium and embossed with True White Powder. I cut it out using one of Sue's Decorative Frames (Set B) from the Californian Collection and inked through the die with Stonewashed.

I made a flower from Blue/White Striped Grosgrain Ribbon following Sue's tutorial here. I cut 2 leaves from Periwinkle Card using Sue's Fern Trio Die Set.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearls to the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pastel Blue PVA around the edges.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  34. Hi Julia,
    Sorry didn't post yesterday as had visitors and it was too late! I love today's card - it has to be one of my favourites. I love blue and white . Your flower still looks better than mine - but I am getting better. Some are much better than others- practice is what is needed.
    A new craft! You are awful teasing us like this - I could almost hear you giggle as you typed that! Hope you have a great day and I look forward to seeing this new craft. Is it going to cost me more money? ha ha!
    Crafting with children again today so need to get a move on!
    Love Myra
