A True Friend

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I cut a die from Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Squares Die Set out of Coconut White Card. I left the die in place and stamped 2 of the rose stamps from John Lockwoood's Rosebud Elements Stamp Set across the card several times using Phill Martin's Cosmic Shimmer Frosty Heather Colour Cloud applying the ink with a Smoothie. I then inked through the die with the Frosty Heather Colour Cloud.

I cut the largest die from the Spellbinders 5 x 7 Reflective Moment Die Set out of Coconut White Card and inked through the die with Frosty Heather Colour Cloud. I then cut the die cut down to make a square frame by removing the centre section.

I stamped the sentiment, also from John's stamp set, using Watering Can Archival. I cut it out using another of Sue's Double Pierced Squares out of Coconut White Card - this time I used a die from Set B, adding a couple of dies from the Spellbinders Gold Squares One Die Set. I inked through the dies with Frosty Heather.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Light Orchid Satin Ribbon. I inked a piece of Coconut White Card with Frosty Heather Colour Cloud. I then cut the smallest die from the Spellbinders Angle Approach Cut Fold & Tuck Die Set. I folded and tucked, added it to my bow and added a Small Circle Dazzler.

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

I'm off to spend the day with Phill and his Craftathon peeps. Anything could happen!

Thanks for stopping by.

  3. Good morning Julia

    What a pretty card today nice subtle colouring.

    I loved your spellbinder shows and want to say thank you for explaining the new Platinum in such detail and how to use it with all the plates without waffling and ending up saying nothing of consequence and not answering any of the questions we had on it, like other presenters have done in the past.

    It was all clear and concise which is how I like it. You had answered all my questions by the time I got round to watching the recordings of the shows. I had in the meantime chatted to Sue about it and contacted Spellbinders who tell me the the adapter is still in development so not sure about it being released quite as soon as the HCA in January as I think they would have said. But for those of us with manual dexterity issues it sounds really great news and I for one hope you are right.

    1. Hi Heather.

      Interesting that Spellbinders gave you that info. The CHA date of the electric adapter had been given to me that day via an email from Spellbinders. We will have to wait and see!

  14. Hi Julia,
    A really beautiful and elegant card, I wouldn't have thought about inking and stamping through a large square to make a background, great idea. Love the colour too.
    Thanks for all the great inspiration and have a great day,
    Heather

  28. Hi Julia
    It's lashing down & very windy here on the North Norfolk Coast but I'm all snug & cosy in my craft room.
    Beautiful card & love the soft lilac colour which looks so pretty & all the dies you have used to create this stunning card are amazing.
    Really love the way you have made a pretty flower using the cut & fold die & together with the gorgeous bow adds the perfect finishing touch.
