Love

Hi Bloggers.

Thanks for all the emails and comments here on the blog yesterday. Glad you enjoyed the shows.

Here's today's card -

For the backgound, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Peacock Fans Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design - a repeating pattern - and inked around the edges with Barn Door Distress Ink.

I cut the Couture Creations Lacy 8 Die out of Rich Red Card. I used the outer frame only.

I cut the largest 2 dies together from Sue's Decorative Frames Set from the Italian Collection and inked through the dies with Barn Door.

I cut a Couture Creations Lasting Love Die out of Rich Red Card.

I masked the word 'with' off from the 'With Love' sentiment from the Creative Expressions Everyday Expressions Stamp Set and inked up with Jet Black Archival. I removed the mask, stamped and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Label & Banner Dies and inked through the die with Barn Door.

I tied a knot in a piece of White Tulle and trimmed it a little. I made a flower out of a piece of White Crochet Ribbon cut in half lengthways and added a couple of Pearl Sprays.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearls in the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Cosmic Pearl around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  18. Hi Julia,
    Lovely card today - a rather unusual heart die with a lot of detail. I watched the afternoon show Live and even sent in an email! No interruptions! It was a good show and I laughed aloud at times! Not at the cards!!! You had made some gorgeous cards and so many of them. I too, like the Lacy 8, but some of the frames were really useful too. I watched the earlier show last night - I could see where the "postman Pat " came from lol. Loved the cards, particularly the first one on that show too.
    Must stop . Thanks once again Julia.
    Love Myra
