Wonderful Friend

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I dusted a piece of Periwinkle Card with an anti stati bag and popped it on top of my tan mat which was on top of the Grand Calibur Pink Plate. I inked up the Damask Mask with Perfect Medium and placed it face down onto the dusted card. I added the Base Plate and ran it through the Grand Calibur. The ink transferred to the debossed pattern. I added Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder and heat set. I added Cosmic Shimmer Sky Blush Twinkles around the edges and put aside to dry.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Pansies in Spring Stamp Set using Cobalt Archival  and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels 7 and inked through the die with Stonewashed Adirondack Dye Ink. I cut one of Sue's Decorative Frames (Set B) from the Californian Collection out of Periwinkle Card and inked through the die with Stonewashed Ink. I cut one of Sue's Basic Frames (Set A) from the Californian Collection out of Cobalt Card. I stamped 3 single pansies from the same stamp set using Cobalt Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I cut them out using scissors.

I tied a bow using Blue/White Grosgrain and added a White Crystal Sparkler.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Mini Pearl Swirls and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pastel Blue PVA around the edges.

Some of you will have heard Sue mention yesterday that we'll be doing a Toolshed together in July. It's on July 20th and we're both really looking forward to it. Lots of lovely new stamps and as Sue hinted, something really special - that's all I'm saying!

I am so pleased to see that there are bids on some of my sample packs on ebay so I have popped another 3 packs on there. I will add more as I get time.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
