Freedom

Hi Bloggers.

Had a great day at the NEC yesterday. I'm up there again today - on the Craft World Stand (B22). Come and say hello if you're there today.

Here's today's card -

As soon as I saw this die I thought it would look lovely with Sue's Fire & Ice Technique.

I cut just the inner die from the Spellbinders Card Creator : Grate Effect Die Set out of Coconut White Card. I added a piece of Creative Expressions Double Sided Self Adhesive Sheet to the front of the die cut. I turned it over and added Cosmic Shimmer Sunlight Speckle Gilding Flakes. I removed the excess with a piece of Rubit Scrubit. I turned it over, removed the backing from the adhesive and added Cosmic Shimmer Iced Snow Glitter Jewels.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Sincere Sentiments Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Bright Gold Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using a die from the Spellbinders Romantic Rose Die Set.

I tied a knot in a piece of White Tulle and trimmed it a little. I tied a bow using Off White Satin Ribbon. I added some Sunlight Speckle Gilding Flakes and Cosmic Shimmer Clear Varnish Lacquer to a Metal Dazzler Setting (another great idea from Sue). Once dry, I added it to my bow.

I assembled the card as shown adding an 8mm White Pearl to each corner.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  2. Morning Julia and all crafters, another gorgeous card today, I have ordered the spellbinder die a couple of days ago and will collect it from my local craft shop on Wednesday, it looks lovely. Also love the technique with the dazzler, yes I saw Sue doing it as well.

    Hope you are having a few minutes rest at the NEC I know what it is like.

    Have a great Sunday everyone, stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs June Smith xxx

  3. Hi Julia,
    Gorgeous sparkly little number today, you were right, that die looks perfect with the fire and ice technique, great colour combo going on too!
    Enjoy the NEC, although I imagine you leave a pile of iced snow on the floor of your bedroom every night , that stuff clings to everything!
