Wake Up

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Milk Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Art Deco Fanfare Embossing Folder. I rubbed Enchanted Gold Gilding Wax all over the embossed surface. I put it aside for about 5 minutes and then buffed it up using a dry wet wipe which makes it smoother and shinier. I wrapped a piece of Cream Crochet Ribbon around the centre.

I stamped the Filigree Frame as it comes using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Gold Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using the largest die in the Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics B. I cut a Spellbinders Grand Rectangle out of Vintage Gold Card.

I tied a bow out of Cream Crochet Ribbon and added a Vintage Metal Embellishment.

I cut a couple of leaves out of Vintage Gold Card. I cut some flowers out of Milk Card using Sue's Faux Quilled Blooms Die Set and added some Cream Pearls to the centres.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Cream Pearls to the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Ivory PVA around the edges.

I have added photos of all the samples from Thursday's shows onto Facebook. You can see them here.

Sue has shows today on Create & Craft with a Weekender with her Festive Dies. Please check the schedule or Sue's Blog for show times.

I'm demoing at MSA Crafts in Cradley Heath today. Please call in if you're in the area.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  9. Great card Another tip for "revitalising" the older waxes is to add a tiny drop of proper turpentine (not the substitute stuff) Hels mentioned this on C&C Love the colours you had on C&C yesterday

  27. Beautiful card. Will have a good look at your new stamps. It was a pleasure to see you demonstrating locally its nice to be interactive with you and see up close and personal the results of some great cards and ideas. (The kids weren't too disruptive and a McDonalds helped lol)
