Wishing you Happiness

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

Another really simple card.

For the background,I tan the Squared Mask through the Grand Calibur with a piece of Milk Card. Leaving the mask in place, I inked through the mask using Mountain Rose Adirondack Dye Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the Rose Frame using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Grand Squares and inked through the die with Mountain Rose. I coloured in using Pastel Orange from the Cosmic Shimmer Pastels Watercolour Paint Set and Golden Pear from the Cosmic Shimmer Garden Tones Watercolour Paint Set.

I stamped the sentiment from the True Thoughts Stamp Set, again using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Classic Squares Small and inked through the die with Mountain Rose.

Itied a bow using White Crochet Ribbon and added a Frosted Peach Dazzler.

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

I've started listing some packs of old demo cards on ebay as I really need the space! I am hoping they will sell as 50% of the final value will go to The Teenage Cancer Trust. Please click on the ebay link in the top menu of this blog to go and have a look.

Don't forget that Sue has shows today at 11am, 2pm and 7pm.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
