Friends Warm the Heart

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I started by stamping the Justrite Text Background onto Coconut White Card using Sepia Archival. I made sure the ink was dry and then rubbed over my Anti-Static Bag. I then stamped the Justrite Blooming Vines Background over the Text Background using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Black Detail Embossing Powder.

I coloured in using Mica Powders. I added a little of the powders to a Palette and added a little water to make them into paints. I used Phill Martin Cosmic Shimmer Chic Aubergine, Graceful Pink, Chic Moss and New Gold Mica Powders.

I trimmed the background a little and matted it onto Rich Plum Card and then onto Black Card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Circle of Friends Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Black Detail Powder. I cut it out using the smallest circle die on the Justrite Stitched A2 Banners & Rectangles Die Set and cut a mat out of Black Card using the larger circle die.

I assembled the card as shown adding some 8mm Black Pearls and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.
