To Cheer You

Hi Bloggers.

I forgot to do the draw for Freebie Friday yesterday - sorry! That's what happens when pretty much every day is a working day - you loose track of what day it is! Anyhow, the winner of the card from Freebie Friday on July 15th is ...................................

Anne (Northampton)

Please email me at juliawattscrafts@gmail.com with your address and I'll pop your card in the post.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine with the Spellbinders VenetianM-Bossabilities Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design. I inked around the very edges with CS Plum Cobbler Colour Cloud using a Smoothie. I wrapped a piece of Craft Consortium Lily Lace Ribbon around the background.

I cut the largest die in the Spellbinders Jewelled Frame Die Set out of Coconut White Card and inked through the die with Plum Cobbler Colour Cloud. I snipped a section out from the long side. I glued the pieces to my background and wrapped a piece of Craft Consortium White Satin Ribbon around to hide the join.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Petite Lavish Sentiments Stamp Set using Plum Archival. I cut it out using a die from the Spellbinders Acanthus Leaf Tags Die Set.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of the Satin Ribbon and added a Craft Consortium Heart Cluster Charm.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

  20. Like the idea of putting the frame over an embossed background. Will have to think about which embossing folder to use.
