Here's today's card -
For the background, I ran a piece of Milk Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Checkerboard PinPoint Embossing Folder. Using a piece of Cut n Dry Foam, I picked up a little Gold Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Paint from my Craft Sheet and rubbed it over the surface.
I stamped the image from the Justrite Butterflies Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Gold Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using one of the dies from Sue's Decorative Frames Die Set from the Italian Collection and inked through the die with Scattered Straw Distress Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Doily One Stamp Set several times using Gold Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Paint. I inked around the edges with a little of the Gold Paint.
I cut a Justrite Heirloom Flourish Two out of Milk Card and inked through the die with Scattered Straw.
I made some flowers out of Gold Tulle using Sue's Classic Rose Die Set and following the technique she demonstrated when she did the Weekender on Create & Craft last month. I cut a couple of Faux Quilled Leaves out of Milk Card.
I assembled the card as shown adding some Cream Pearls and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Vanilla PVA around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

I LOVE the folder and ordered it from your Amazon Store on Sunday I know it's a more expensive way than the C&C offer but I don't make a lot of cards and only want this one (at mo) and so was a bit more affordable The flowers are lovely too and I love how you use Sue's leaves in unusual colours and with flowers made from different materials

ReplyDeleteHello Julia - apologies for the long post today. (1) One of the samples I won on ebay (to the best daughter in the world) - Mum and Dad have paid me for so it can become my birthday card next week - it will be interesting to see how they convert it - my parents are in their 80s (2) I am glad you reopened your Amazon store as I was then able to place an order yesterday - for a mixture of old and new stuff (3) Finally this card - very nice, personally not sure if I would have made the background colour so strong - as much as I like that embossing folder, it is A4 and won't go through my cuttlebug. Although I have been dropping hints for my birthday about an e-bosser - I think I will be bought something off my house needs list.
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, a stunning card. Love it all!
ReplyDeleteLove that embossing folder but bow one my favourite I think!! Classy card!

hi julie this is a lovely card really really super and i just love the embossing folders, but i can't buy them as i only have a bigshot boohoo regards jo
ReplyDeleteHi Julia,
ReplyDeleteI'm very very late! Forgot to leave a post earlier! It must be old age and the heat!
Really like today's card and I love using the paints which I would never have tried if I hadn't seen you use them! They are so versatile and not at all messy .
The flowers are lovely too - not tried these as yet.
Noticed Seline above me asked about a butterfly stamp! I was wondering if it was the large one I have which is from Justrite - called Butterfly Kisses. Hope this helps.
Love Myra
