You Are Loved

Hi Bloggers.

Day 2 in Aberdeen. If my memory serves me right, Kim Robertson has shows on Create & Craft today. I'm not sure of the times so please check the schedule.

Here's today's card -

This card was inspired by a sample on the Justrite Stampers Blog.

I started by stamping 3 of the borders from the Justrite Ribbons, Lace & Tape Clear Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Small Dots Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Magnolia Vintage Labels 7 Clear Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Tag Dies and inked through the die with Antique Linen. I stamped the frame from the Magnolia Stamp Set, again using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels 7 and inked through the die with Antique Linen.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Black Silky Crush Ribbon and added a Vintage Metal Embellishment.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Black Pearls in the top left hand corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Black Pearl around the edges.

I finally remembered to take some photos yesterday of Sue's first workshop. So, here's one of them -

You can see more photos on The Papeterie blog here.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
