Hi Bloggers.

Here's today card -

This is a very simple card to make. It could be used for many occasions.

The baking paper is from the gorgeous Couture Creations Vintage Rose 12 x 12 Paper Pad.

I cut the Couture Creations Nostalgic Narelle Die out of Black Card twice and rubbed Blush Gilding Wax over both of them, left them a few minutes to dry then buffed them up using a dry wet wipe and glued them to the backing paper as shown,

I cut a piece of Double White Pearl Strip in half lengthways and added them to both sides.

The sentiment is from another of the papers in the pad.

I tied a bow using Sideshow Rose Satin Ribbon. I tied a piece of the thinner ribbon in the pack through a button from my stash and added it to the bow.

I used Coconut White Card in the mat layers, colouring them with Tattered Rose Distress Ink using a Smoothie.

I assembled the card as shown piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  1. A lovely bold card Julia and that stamp pad was gorgeous on the show. I think for me though I would want to just keep it in the drawer to just look at I would find it hard to cut in to it. :)
