Best Wishes

Hi Bloggers.

Catching up with orders on my website today - all orders from the weekend and yesterday will be sent out today. Hopefully, I will be able to load some more new stock onto my website today too.

Here's today's card -

I didn't quite get to finish this card on Sunday night - I really don't know where the time goes!

For the background, I have embossed a piece of Coconut White Card using the Creative Expressions Wild Roses Embossing Folder. I ran a strip of patterned paper from the Craft Consortium English Garden 12 x 12 Paper Pad top to bottom and added a few Craft Consortium Rhinestone Gems.

The paper I have used has lots of little birds on it so I chose an area with a bird on a branch on it to use as a topper and cut it out using #2 die from the Spellbinders Astoria Decorative Accents Die Set. I cut out the #5 die in the Spellbinders Astoria Labels out of Coconut White Card and inked through the die with Pretty in Pink Colour Cloud using a Smoothie. I cut the the #1 die from the Astoria Decorative Accents out of Coconut White Card and again inked through the die with Pretty in Pink. It looks like a tassel to me and it has some 'hands' so it's easy to tuck it under another die cut as I have done on this card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Petite Lavish Sentiments Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Watering Can Archival. I cut it out using #2 die from the Spellbinders Savoy Labels Die Set and inked through the die with Pretty in Pink. I cut the #2 die from the Spellbinders Savoy Decorative Accents Die Set out of Coconut White Card and again inked through the die with Pretty in Pink.

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.

I have some more paper pads on order - the English Garden pad featured on this card and John and Sue's new pads. I'll let you know when they're back in stock.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    Lovely card Julia. I often forget about using papers on my cards as I'm so busy concentrating on using dies. This has reminded me what a difference papers can make. Pat x

    Hello Julia.

    Lovely Card. I really like the look of the touch of patterned paper with a mainly white Card, using a piece as a topper is a great idea. I also really like the patterned paper mat, very pretty. Thanks for sharing.

    Best wishes
