Love & Kisses

Hi Bloggers.

The whole Creative Expressions demonstration team are up at HQ all day today running some retailer workshops. It's going to be a busy one! As a result, I won't be able to post any orders placed on my website after 11am on Saturday, until tomorrow. Sorry about that. I have to leave at the crack of dawn way before our little Post Office opens it's doors.

Here's today's card -

I started by stamping one of the flowers from the Justrite Romantic Wild Roses Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card 3 times using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Silver Smoke Brillant Sparkle Embossing Powder. I cut them all out using the corresponding die in the Justrite Romantic Wild Roses Dies.


I stamped the stem from the same stamp set onto a piece of Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Spring Wishes Vintage Labels 8 & 9 Stamp Set into the bottom right corner, again using Jet Black Archival.

I assembled the card as shown adding my flowers with different depths of 3d Foam, some 5mm Black Pearls and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

The winner of the card from Freebie Friday on 1st April is ............

PharmacyMichele
 
Please email me at juliawattscrafts@gmail.com with your address and I'll pop it in the post. I will not be sharing a photo of the complete card as it was just for my workshop ladies. I would also ask the winner not to post a photo of it social media either. Many thanks.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    Hi Julia

    Between browser trouble and needing every last ounce of energy to help my little sister make a costume for a hairdressing contest I have not been able to post. Very glad I'm back today as I love a sparkly embossing powder and of course my Justrite! I love monochrome too so 3/3... Full marks!

    Hugs, T x
