Just For You

Hi Bloggers.

A simple card today. This card looks blue but it's actually lilac -

For the background, I inked a piece of Coconut White Card with Shaded Lilac Distress Stain. Once completely dry, I ran it through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine with the Couture Creations Thinking of You Embossing Folder. I sanded it to reveal the core and made the design pop.


I stamped the balloon image and the sentiment from the Justrite Explore Vintage Labels Four Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Clear Embossing Powder. I rubbed some Shaded Lilac Distress Stain over the image and sentiment. I cut the sentiment out using Justrite Vintage Labels Four.


I cut the sentiment out using Justrite Antique Labels One Dies.

I assembled the card as shown adding some 8mm White Pearls and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

Stock of Phill Martin's new dies will arrive on Monday. My pre-order of the Happy Birthday to You die set sold out yesterday. I have ordered some more and I have amended the item on the website with a dispatch approx Wednesday 10th February which is when I'm guessing they will arrive. I've done this so you can take advantage of the 10% discount which applies till midnight Monday 8th February. Orders placed for the original stock will be sent out as soon as my order arrives on Monday. You can find Phill's dies on my website here.

Thanks for stopping by.
