Hi Bloggers.
I'm at Inspirations in Preston today demoing some Christmas stamps and masks and other goodies. If you're in the area, please stop by.
Here's today's card -
For the background, I started by stamping the Justrite Iron Swirls Background on the right hand side of a piece of Coconut White Card using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Lagoon Lilac Aurora Embossing Powder.
I popped a little Azure Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Paint onto my Craft Sheet. I picked some paint up onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam and 'inked' up the Justrite Fleur Twist Background. I stamped this on the left hand side of the card. I ran a piece of Vintage Ribbon in Limoges Blue along the join in the backgrounds.
I stamped the image from the Justrite Butterflies Stamp Set using the Azure Paint. I cut it out using one of the dies from Sue's Italian Decorative Frames Die Set and inked through the die with Stonewashed Adirondack Dye Ink.
I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Doily Stamp Set using Azure CS Shimmer Paint. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Sentiment Tag Dies and inked through the die with Stonewashed Ink.
I tied a bow using 4 lengths of Limoges Blue Vintage Ribbon. I added some White Pearl String and a White Crystal Sparkler.
I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearls to the corners, some White Mini Pearl Swirls and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pastel Blue PVA around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.
