Hope all your birthday wishes come true!

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I stamped a corner stamp from the Justrite Sympathy Vintage Labels 8 & 9 Clear Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card into 2 of the corners using Ocean Blue Cosmic Shimmer Colour Cloud applied with a Smoothie. I then ran the piece through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine using the Creative Expressions Rows of Bows PinPoint Embossing Folder.

I stamped the Justrite Diamond Filigree Background Stamp onto a strip of Coconut White Card using Ocean Blue Colour Cloud. While the ink was still wet, I brushed some Iced Blue Sparkle Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Lovely Lights Sparkle Pigment Set over the surface (hard to capture the shimmer on camera but hopefully you could see it when I demonstrated it?). I matted the strip onto Teal Card.


I stamped the frame from the Justrite Sympathy Vintage Labels 8 & 9 Clear Stamp Set using the Ocean Blue Colour Cloud. I cut it out using the largest die in the Justrite Vintage Labels 8 Die Set and inked through the die with Ocean Blue CC.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Birthday Floral Vintage Labels 8 & 9 Clear Stamp Set, again using Ocean Blue CC. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels 9 and inked through the die again. Once I had removed the die, I stamped a little stamp from the Sympathy Set on either side of the sentiment using Ocean Blue CC.

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

  16. I find the technique of stamping before using an embossing folder very effective - especially for names on those special cards.

    This is lovely, Julia.
