Love in a Ribbon

Hi Bloggers.

We had a great day at Strikes in Northallerton yesterday. Meant to take photos but were so busy that we clean forgot until the end of the day.

We're travelling to Aberdeen today.

So, the big surprise is the launch of the second release of Sue's dies - a little later than planned but they're available now. Sue is doing a special launch of them over on her blog with regular posts on her blog today through to Monday with giveaways on every post. So, please be sure to check her blog over the next few days here. Unfortunately, they are not available in my Amazon Store as I have closed it while I am away.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I stamped the Wrought Iron Corner in each corner using Aged Mahogany Distress Ink. It's very subtle as I rubbed the ink pad over the surface of the stamp rather than tapping it on. I ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Irish Clubs Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Aged Mahogany Distress Ink.

I stamped the sentiment from the Celebration Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Couture Creations Ornamental Rectangle Die. I cut a Spellbinders Fleur de Lys Rectangle out of Black Card.

I cut 2 more Couture Creations Ornamental Rectangles out of Milk Card  and 2 Spellbinders Wonky Rectangles out of Black Card. I cut 2 Couture Creations Ivy out of Black card and some of Sue's Faux Quilled Blooms out of Rich Red Card.

 

I tied a bow using Black/Ivory Striped Grosgrain and added a Black Vintage Button.

I assembled the card as shown adding a Cream 8mm Pearl to each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Ivory PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
