A Day to Celebrate

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Milk Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Irish Clubs Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design. I rubbed some Golden Lilac Gilding Wax all over.

I cut a Couture Creations French Frame out of Mauve Card. I cut a second French Frame and snipped away just the ornate corner. I glued this in the opposite corner to the corner in the complete frame.

I stamped the sentiment from the Celebration Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Pastel Lilac Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Couture Creations Cameo Die and inked through the die with Dusty Concord Distress Ink.

I tied a bow using Purple/Ivory Striped Grosgrain and added a Black Organza Ribbon Rose.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Cream Mini Pearl Swirls, a 5mm Black Pearl in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pastel Lilac PVA around the edges.

With the first batch of 19 sets of sample cards all sold on ebay and posted, £96.65 has been raised for Teenage Cancer Trust. Many thanks to those of you who have taken part.

Thanks for stopping by.
