Celebration Today

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine with the Couture Creations Turkish Delight Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design - it's not a repeating pattern but it's easy to hide the join.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Circle of Friends Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using Sue Wilson's Melbourne Die Set and inked through the die and around the edges with Crimson Kiss Colour Cloud using a Smoothie. I cut the next sized die in the set out of Black Card.

I cut the 2 largest dies in the set together out of Coconut White Card and inked through the die and around the edges with Crimson Kiss Colour Cloud using a Smoothie. I cut the largest die only out of Black Card and glued the 2 die cuts together.

On Coconut White Card, from the Justrite Multi-Step Poppies Clear Stamp Set I stamped 1a 3 times and 3a twice using Jet Black Archival. I then stamped 1b and 3b on top using Crimson Kiss Colour Cloud using a Smoothie. I stamped 1c and 3c on top using Scarlet Woman Colour Cloud, again applied using a Smoothie. Finally, I stamped 1d and 3d on top using Onyx Black Colour Cloud, again applied using a Smoothie. I cut them all out using scissors. I added some leaves cut from Black Card using Sue's Maidenhair Fern Die Set.


I assembled the card as shown adding some Small Black Circle Dazzlers and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat. I inked my Coconut White mats with Crimson Kiss Colour Cloud.
