I had a great few days away - lovely weather, lovely house, lovely food, great company and lots of beading! I didn't quite finish my piece so I'm not going to share just yet. Hopefully, I'll finish it the next time I go to my beading club and I'll share it then.
I did half of my post yesterday afternoon after I got back, the other half will be sent out today.
Today's card is clean and simple -
I started by stamping the sentiment from the Justrite Wedding Inner Sentiments Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Silver Shine Detail Embossing Powder, positioning it towards the bottom right hand side. I cut it out using Spellbinders 6 x 6 Matting Basics A. I cut a mat out of Wisteria Card using Spellbinders 6 x 6 Matting Basics B.
I cut a Spellbinders Decorative Swallowtail Tags Die out of Coconut White Card and a larger die from the set out of Wisteria Card. I added a Craft Consortium Heart Cluster Rhinestone Charm.
I assembled the card as shown adding a Craft Consortium Adhesive Rhinestone to each corner and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Julia, glad you had a lovely break. I think this card is stunning, and would venture to say that if the sentiment was a little higher up, it would not need much else. Have a great day. Bx
ReplyDeleteHi Julia
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased to hear you enjoyed the beading break. I went to Craft4crafters yesterday near Shepton Mallet and spent far more than I'd intended, but I was like a kid in a sweet shop with all the supplies for my various hobbies under one roof.
I love clean and simple cards.
