Hi Bloggers.
I'm demoing at Bizzy Fingers in Port Talbot today 10am till 4pm. Please pop by if you're in the area. Not too bad a journey yesterday - about 5 hours! Only parked on the M4 for about an hour!
Here's today's card -
For the background, I embossed a piece of Sky Blue Card with the Couture Creations Garden Frame Embossing Folder. This is a repeating pattern so I ran it throught the Grand Calibur a second time to extend the design.
I cut the Couture Creations Crystal Aroma Die out of Milk Card 3 times. I offset one of the die cuts behind another one and glued in place. I cut the remianing die cut in half and used it to extend the design below the other 2 die cuts.
I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Fabulous Sentiments Stamp Set using Cobalt Archival. I cut it out using the smallest die from the Couture Creations Scrolled Tomentosa Die Set. I cut the largest die in the Scrolled Tomentosa Die Set out of Sky Blue Card. I took the waste from the frame to cut the middlle die in the set which I then ran through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Chain Link Embossing Folder.
I cut the Couture Creations Evergreen Die out of Sky Blue Card. I nipped away at the die cut to make a couple of leaf sprays.
I made a flower out of Cream Crochet Ribbon cut in half lengthways and some 12mm Hi Tack Tape.
I assembled the card as shown adding some 5mmCream Pearls and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Julia, some beautiful cards to be made, I'll chat to my chauffeur to see if I can make it to one. We are expecting rain all over the country tomorrow so our grass is being cut as I type. Enjoy this last day of sunshine . X
