In the Garden of Life

Hi Bloggers.

A very simple card today from Monday's Justrite shows on Hochanda.

 For the background, I inked up the Justrite Diamond Filigree Background with Lemon Meringue Colour Cloud applied using a Smoothie. I then added some Basil Leaf Colour Cloud. I stamped onto Coconut White Card.

I stamped the focal image from the Justrite Hope & Love Vintage 8 & 9 Clear Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using the largest die in the Justrite Vintage Labels 8 Die Set and inked through the diw with Lemon Meringue Colour Cloud using a Smoothie.

I coloured the rose in using the Lemon Meringue and Basil Leaf Colour Cloud by dabbing some ink onto my Craft Sheet and picking it up using a Waterbrush.

I added some Lemon Meringue Ink to some Blue White American Seam Binding and then added a little Basil Leaf Colour Cloud. I used this inked ribbon to tie a bow and added a Small Fancy Pearl Embellishment.

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.


Thanks for stopping by.
