Let there be love

Hi Bloggers.

Back from a very busy One Day Special. Hope you enjoyed the shows - they are really lovely dies and that paper pad! Well, I hope you got yours!

Today will be spent doing post, unpacking, washing and trying to sort out the huge amount of website stock that is currently sat in my lounge! I really need to get on with my next post for the Spellbinders Blog and I have a couple of projects to do for Making Cards Magazine. How many hours are there in a day??

Here's today's card -

When I was cutting the dies to go on the sample boards, I thought the waste from the little berries die in the Spellbinders Labels Fifty Decorative Accents looked like it would be good to ink through. So, in a moment of madness, I cut the die many times in a square of foundations card to make my own mask. I used my mask to create my background, first inking though it onto Milk Card with CS Rose Blush Colour Cloud applied using a Smoothie. I then rotated my mask and inked through it with CS Spring Bluebell Colour Cloud applied using a Smoothie. I ran my Rose Blush inked Smoothie around the very edges of the card.

I stamped the sentiment from Phill Martin's Mini Baroque Inspirational Sentiments Stamp Set onto Milk Card using Cobalt Archival. I cut it out using a Spellbinders Labels 50 Decorative Accents die and inked through the die with Rose Blush Colour Cloud.

I cut the largest die in the same set out of Milk Card and again inked through the die with Rose Blush Colour Cloud.

I cut the 4 flower die and the swag die from the Spellbinders Floral Berry Accents Die Set out of Milk Card and inked through the die with Rose Blush Colour Cloud. I popped some CS True White Detail Embossing Powder into a bag and added a little CS Phill Martin Chic Magenta Mica Powder and gave it a shake. I added Clear Perfect Medium, my embossing powder mix and heat set. I shaped the flowers and added them to the swag die cut.

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

Pixie Powders are now in stock and any orders placed over the last few days will be sent out today. Here's a reminder of some of the cool backgrounds you can make with them - you can even paint with them. Any cards not yet seen here on the blog will be featured very soon!

You can find all 20 colours of Pixie Powders on my website here. £2.99 each.

Cosmic Shimmer Brilliant Sparkle Embossing Powders which sold out very quickly on last week's Justrite One Day Special are now in stock. You can find them here. Here's a reminder of a few of the cards I've made with them -

I have also received stock of the new CS Metallic Gilding Polishes as shown on Hochanda on John Lockwood's shows earlier this week. You can find them here. I have 9 of the 12 colours. I will watch out for stock of the 3 missing colours to become available.

I also have another brand new Cosmic Shimmer product called Diamond Dust. It's an ultra fine glitter that looks different on white and black card. You can find them here.

Thanks for stopping by.
