Pretty Flowers

Hi Bloggers.

John Lockwood & I are demoing at Inspirations in Preston today 10am till 4pm. Please stop by if you're in the area.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I embossed a piece of Coconut White Card using the Creative Expressions Provencal Lace Embossing Folder.

I cut the largest die in the Spellbinders Ornamental Crest Die Set with the deboss frame die from the same set within it out of Dark Grey Card. I place the deboss frame over a section of paper from the Craft Consortium English Garden 12 x12 Paper Pad using 3d Foam and trimmed away the excess paper.

I wrapped some Craft Consortium Rose Satin Ribbon across 2 corners of the background adding a Craft Consortium Circle Diamante Buckle Charm to each piece of ribbon.

I cut some flowers out of Coconut White and Dark Grey Card using the Spellbinders Crossing Crescent Die Set and added some Rose Resin Flowers.

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

Phill Martin is continuingwith his One Day Special on Hochanda today with shows at 9am, 12noon, 4pm and 7pm. I'm offering 10% discount on items I have in stock from his shows. You can find them here. Offer applies till midnight tomorrow night.

Thanks for stopping by.

  4. Good morning Julia. A pretty card today - grey and pink always look good. I'm sure you'll have a great time demoing with John.
    I see you have a pixie powder workshop at CE later in May, something I'd love to do do but can't make that date. Do hope you'll be able to schedule another one please.
