It is what it is

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

I made a card blank out of Coconut White Card using Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A by leaving the cutting edge on one side outside the fold.

I cut the Spellbinders Tudor Rose Card Front inner die out of Coconut White Card. I added a piece of Creative Expressions Double Sided Self Adhesive Sheet to the front. On the back, I added some Phill Martin Cosmic Shimmer Chic Magenta and Chic Aubergine Mica Powder to the exposed adhesive using a Soft Brush. I removed the excess and then sealed the mica in by gluing a piece of copier paper over the area.

I turned the piece over, removed the backing sheet and added Cosmic Shimmer Iced Snow Glitter Jewels.

I stamped the sentiment from John Lockwood's Fern Frames Elements Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Magenta Hue Archival. I cut it out using the smallest die in the Spellbinders Floral Assortment Die Set and inked through the die with Milled Lavender Distress Ink using a Smoothie. I cut the middle die in the same set out of Coconut White Card and inked through the die with Milled Lavender.

I tied a little bow using Raisin and Orchid Satin Ribbon. I cut the largest solid and decorative flower dies from the Spellbinders Garden Party Die Set out of Coconut White Card. I pressed the decorative die cut into Perfect Medium, added Phill Martin Cosmic Shimmer Chic Magenta Embossing Powder and heat set.

I assembled the card as shown adding some 5mm White Pearls.

The Tudor Rose Card Front can also be used portrait as shown in this post.

For those of you who missed out earlier this week - the Spellbinders Decorative Applause 3D Embossing Folder is now back in stock on my website here.

We had a lovely day at Kathryn's graduation yesterday. Here's a pic with Kathryn, Nathan, my Mom & Dad and me.

Thanks for stopping by.
