You're Special to Me

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

I cut a piece of Black Card using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Squares Set B. I then cut the Couture Creations Vierge Square out of it and put aside.

I cut the Vierge Square again out of Coconut White Card. I used this as a mask and inked through it onto another piece of Coconut White Card (mask off the centre with low tack tape or a post it first!). I pounced through the die cut with Jade Forest, Plum Cobbler and Scarlet Woman Colour Clouds using Smoothies. I used this as my background. The mask can be used again or used as it is on another project.

I added my Black Vierge Square Die Cut to my background, offsetting it slightly so that the a bit of the white card, that wasn't inked due to the mask, can be seen causing a shadow effect.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Fabulous Sentiments Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using the smallest die in the Couture Creations Scrolled Tomentosa Die Set and inked through the die with Plum Cobbler Colour Cloud. I cut the other 2 dies in the Scrolled Tomentosa Set out of Black Card.

I coloured a piece of Blue White American Seam Binding with the same 3 Colour Clouds that I used on the background and tied a bow using 3 lengths of it. I made a flower out of Coconut White Card using the Couture Creations Falling Blossoms Die, inking the tips of the petals with Plum Cobbler and adding an 8mm Black Pearl to the centre.

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

Thanks for stopping by.
