Hi Bloggers.
I have a demo card to give away today. I thought I'd throw in the pieces from a mini demo I did too.
The demo card varies slightly from the original (in this post). The sentiment is cut out using the Justrite Stitched A2 Banners & Rectangles Die Set instead of the
Justrite Vintage Labels 10 Dies and I made a messy background.
To recap on the background, I started by randomly inking through the
Feathered Mask with
Chic Viola Colour Cloud using a
Mini Smoothie. I then repeated the process with the
Circuit Board Mask and
Lucky Clover Distress Ink. With the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped a section of the
Justrite Butterfly Background with Chic Viola Colour Cloud applied using a Mini Smoothie. Then, again with the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped a section of the
Justrite Garden View Background. I ran the piece through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine with the Couture Creations Feather Frenzy Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Chic Viola Colour Cloud. I runned
Pearl Moon Gilding Wax over the surface, left it a few minutes to dry and then buffed it up using a dry wet wipe.
You can read how I made the roses card in
this post. The sample that's up for grabs uses Chic Viola Colour Cloud.
To go into the draw to win, please leave a lovely comment below. I'll announce the winner on Tuesday morning (a day later than usual). Please be sure to check back to see if you have won. The winner will receive both samples.
Phill Martin and I are off down to Taunton today. We're running workshops all day tomorrow and demoing all day on Sunday. I understand that 2 tickets have become available for one of the demo slots on Sunday so if you're interested, please contact Craftasmic directly. It's bound to be a fun weekend!
Thanks for stopping by.

Dear Julia What a fantastic card. I never would think to put black and blue together on a card but that's because I wouldn't wear them together! I think your card is superb. (As always).
ReplyDeleteI love the textures you've put together on this card with the ribbon and embossing of the background.
I'd love to win the card and demo bits.
Best wishes from Katie-Louise sweetlove

Love this lilac stamp: I even I in my ineptitude when it comes to stamping, managed a perfect one first time such is the quality of the stamp. Love the 'messy' background as well. A lovely card over all.

ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw English Garden paper pads added in your post, I went straight to the shop and ordered one of the last 3 - Phew! Now have come back to finish the post and add a comment. Two lovely cards, I missed the demo where you did the scribble roses round in a circle. Have a fab weekend.
