Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

I stamped the Justrite Iron Works Vintage Labels 8 Background Stamp onto a piece of Milk Card using Jet Black Archival  and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in some of the elements using Caramel Adirondack Dye Ink. I trimmed the background down and then edged the piece with Caramel Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the typewriter image from the Justrite Just Typed Clear Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using scissors. I edged with Caramel Ink.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, again using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Clear Powder. I trimmed it, edged it with Caramel Ink and glued it bebind the typewriter.

I cut a Justrite Vintage Labels 8 Die from a piece of patterned paper from the CE Teresa Collins 8 x 8 Paper Pad and inked through the die with Caramel Ink.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Black Pearl around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
