Sneak Peek

Hi Bloggers.

As promised, today I'm sharing a card from tomorrow's shows. So, as you know we have some lovely new frame stamps and some sentiment sets to fit within them.

Today, I thought I'd share a simple card made with the Garden Frame. These stamps are so lovely that they really do all the work for you.

The background, is simply a piece of Coconut White Card run through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Weaved Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Pink Sherbet Adirondack Dye Ink Pad using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the Garden Frame (for the bottom layer) using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured it in using Cosmic Shimmer Watercolour Paints. I used Pastel Pink from the Pastels Set, Pink Ultra and Golden Pear from the Garden Tones Set. I cut it out using Spellbinders Grand Squares and inked through the die with Pink Sherbet.

I stamped the sentiment from the All Occasions Sentiments Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and added Clear Powder (I did not heat set just yet). I have cut the excess rubber from the insides of all my frame stamps so I was able to see through the hole to stamp the inner frame from the Garden Frame around the sentiment, again using Jet Black Archival, added clear powder and heat set the lot. I coloured in using the same Cosmic Shimmer Watercolours as before. I cut the inner frame out using scissors and popped it within the complete frame using 3d Foam.


I cut a couple of leaves out of Coconut White Card using Sue's Faux Quilled Leaves Die Set. I painted them with Golden Pear Cosmic Shimmer Watercolour. I painted a piece of White Crochet Ribbon with Pastel Pink Cosmic Shimmer Watercolour. I put the ribbon aside to dry. Once dry I cut it in half and made 2 flowers following Sue's tutorial here.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    p.s. I too have been having trouble getting some blogs to connect but I have found if I re-enter them on my favourites list they then come up no problem. The first one to do this was Sue Wilson's blog and at present Phill Martin's is giving trouble, but I don't know why!

  37. Hi Julia,
    Lovely card today - these frames are so pretty and as you say do the work for you! However we still have to think of colours ,construction etc! I love the pink and green tones it reminds me of a cottage garden.. Have already set Record button as - I won't be at home tomorrow. Going on a Ladies Outing! Not really my thing but sometimes we have to do things we wouldn't choose to do.
    Hope the Shows go well but I wont be able to email.
    Safe travel, Julia,
    Love Myra
