Hi Bloggers.
Here's today's card -
For the background, I ran a piece of Rich Plum Card through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine with the inner die from the Spellbinders Loopy Die Set using the emboss sandwich only as there's no cut on this die. I also set the tan mat back from one edge so that I did not get an embossed line on that edge. I then set the die back in to extend the design, this time making sure that the edge overlapping the already embossed area was ourside the tan mat (ensuring I didn't get that line again!). I trimmed the card to size and then rubbed Enchanted Gold GildingWax over it. Once dry, I buffed it up using a dry wet wipe.
I stamped the sentiment from Phill Martin's Mini Baroque Inspirational Sentiments Stamp Set onto Milk Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels Fifty and inked through the die with Plum Cobbler Colour Cloud using a Smoothie. I cut a piece of Rich Plum Card using Spellbinders Labels 50 Decorative Elements. I rubbed Enchanted Gold Gilding Wax over. I cut the largest die in the Spellbinders Labels 50 Decorative Accents Die Set out of Milk Card and inked through the die with Plum Cobbler.
I wrapped a piece of Black Satin Ribbon around the background towards the right-hand side, tied a bow using 2 lengths of the same ribbon and added a Vintage Bronze Button.
I assembled the card as shown adding some Black Pearls and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.
