Special Friend

Hi Bloggers.

I'm running a workshop today just 10 minutes from home! Luxury! It's amazing what I can fit into my little Panda. Quite a tardis! Should be a good day!

Here's today's card -

For the background, I popped some Cosmic Shimmer Corinth Blue Matt Chalk Paint onto my Craft Sheet, picked a little up onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam and randomly inked through the Flourishing Hearts Mask. I then randomly inked through the Stripy Spots mask using Faded Jeans Distress Ink. I ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Sea Garden Embossing Folder. I inked around the edges with Faded Jeans. I rubbed Pearl Moon Gilding Wax all over the surface. I left it to dry for a few minutes and then buffed it up using a dry wet wipe.

I stamped the Delicate Deco Square Stamps to Die For onto Sky Blue Card using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer True White Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Sue's Madison Square Die from the New York Collection and inked through the die with Faded Jeans.

I cut the smallest 2 dies in Madison Square die set out of Coconut White Card and inked through the die with Faded Jeans.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions All Occasions Sentiments Stamp Set onto Sky Blue Card using Perfect Medium and embossed with True White Detail Powder. I cut it out using the tag die from the New York Border, Corner & Tag Die Set and inked through the die with Faded Jeans.

I cut 2 leaves out of Coconut White Card using Sue's Mosaic Leaves Die Set.

I popped a litlle Creative Expressions Double Sided Self Adhesive Sheet onto some Sky Blue Card. I cut 3 of Sue's Camellia Complete Petals Dies out and then added Cosmic Shimmer Diamond Sprinkles. I shaped the flowers a little using my fingers and added a Small Circle Dazzler to the centre of each one.

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

Thanks for stopping by,

Julia.
