To Cheer You

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

Another simple one today - the papers and the dies doing the work for me. If you missed the English Garden Paper Pad, don't miss out on the Craft Consortium Wild Rose 12 x 12 Paper Pad. It should be on my next Spellbinders One Day Special on March 22nd. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Anyway, back to today's card - For the background, I embossed a piece of Coconut White Card with the Creative Expressions Art Deco Fanfare Embossing Folder and edged it with a little Phill Martin CS Frosty Jade Colour Cloud using a Smoothie.

I wrapped a piece of Craft Consortium Duck Egg Satin Ribbon around as shown, tied a bow using 2 lengths of the same ribbon and added a Craft Consortium Duck Egg Resin Rose.

I positioned a die from the Spellbinders Astoria Labels Die Set (#3, I think) over a flower spray onone of the textured papers from the English Garden Paper Pad and embossed then cut it out (it's a good idea to emboss plain dies first as they want to jump out of the die if you cut them first making getting them to stay back in the die to emboss a bit harder). I repeated this once more and then cut another out positioning it anywhere on the paper. This last one was for the central panel.

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 #1 die from the Spellbinders Astoria Decorative Elements Die Set. I glued it to the patterned die cut for the central panel.

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.

John Lockwood continues with his One Day Special on Hochanda today with shows at 9am, 12noon, 4pm and 7pm. There's 10% off items I have in stock on my website from the shows until midnight tonight. You can find them here.

I've loaded some lovely new embellishments from Craft Consortium - you can see them here. New Cosmic Shimmer products have started to arrive. The first are new Watercolour Palettes featuring 4 of the Phill Martin colour collections. No pictures yet, sorry. You can find them here. I've also got some new Woodware Stamps here and their updated Fingerguard Trimmer here.

Thanks for stopping by.
