Believe

Hi Bloggers.

John Lockwood & I are demoing for MJ Crafts in Gloucester today. It's actually being held at Northgate Hall, St Johns lane, Northgate street but it's via ticket so please contact the shop for info.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I first cut the Couture Creations Dasher Die out of Coconut White Card to cut an aperture. I then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Gradient Mask. I wrapped some Metallic Bakers Twine around the card, tied a bow and added a Pine Cone which I had cut down a little to remove the berries.

I cut the Dasher Die again out of Vintage Gold Card and glued him into the aperture.

I cut the Couture Creations Believe Die out of Vintage Gold Card - I just used the wording on this card, not the flourish.

I assembled the card as shown adding some 5mm White Pearls and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

John will be launching a One Day Special on Hochanda this evening at 8pm with Sue Wilson's Portuguese Collection. Shows will continue at tomorrow at 9am, 12noon, 4pm and 7pm. Hope you can tune in.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    Hi Julia, I loved watching you demo this card, and thought how beautifully it looked when finished, looking at it on my laptop in close up now, the tv didn't do it justice, it is absolutely gorgeous. I'm especially loving the pine cones.
    Have a great demo day.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx
