This card features a couple of brand new products from Cosmic Shimmer as well as new Justrite Stamps and Dies -
I started with a piece of Creative Expressions Watercolour Card. I spritzed it with water then added new Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powder in Scarlet Mist, Mango Blaze and Sun Yellow. The colour moves around the card in the water and, because there's mica in the powder, it shimmers too!
Once dry, I dusted it with my anti static bag and stamped the image from the Justrite Doodled Roses Stamp Set using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with new Cosmic Shimmer Brilliant Sparkle Embossing Powder in Anthracite. I cut it out using a die from the new Justrite Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles Die Set.
I popped a little Scarlet Mist Pixie Powder onto my Craft Sheet and added water from my Water Brush. I used this to colour the roses. I popped some Golden Mint Pixie Powder onto my Craft Sheet, added water and used this to colour the leaves.
I cut the smallest rectangle from the new Justrite Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles Die Set out of Black Card and matted my image onto it.
I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set onto some more of my coloured card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with Anthracite Cosmic Shimmer Brilliant Sparkle Embossing Powder (remember to dust with an anti static bag first!). I cut it out using a circle die from the same Justrite Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles Die Set and cut a Black mat using the larger circle die in the set.
For the background, I embossed a piece of Bright White Card using the new Creative Expressions Treasure Box Embossing Folder.
I tied a bow using Black Crochet Ribbon and added a Black Vintage Ribbon.
I assembled the card as shown adding some 5mm Black Pearls and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.
I will be ordering the new Cosmic products and the new Creative Expressions Embossing Folders. I'll let you know as soon as they arrive.
Thanks for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteHello Julia.
ReplyDeleteGreat Card. I really like your background for the Doodled Roses and Sentiment, lovely colours. As has been said by others they sound very like brusho's with added mica, very nice. It looks like the Stitched A2 Banners and Rectangles Die Set is going to be very useful. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
A really lovely card here Julia, that background is really pretty with the simple flower stamped on it, beautiful....luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your water color techniques with us crafters. Your background is lovely. I don't think I have ever heat embossed water color paper before. You have inspired me to try the water color and the embossing on the water color paper. These techniques may be what I use on my Easter cards.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely card Julia. Looking forwarf dot seeing the new goodies in action.
