Many Happy Returns

Hi Bloggers.

I'm running my last workshop of the year locally at Yardley Gobion today. I've loaded the dates for next year's workshops at YG Village Hall to the Workshops section and the left-hand side bar of this Blog and to my website here.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I embossed a piece of Coconut White Card using the Creative Expressions Eternal Ivy Embossing Folder. I edged it with Phill Martin Cosmic Shimmer Chic Pumpkin Twinkles and put aside to dry.

I stamped the Stamps to Die For Sweet Sunflowers onto Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with Wow! Golden Flame Embossing Powder. I cut it out using the largest die in Sue Wilson's Maldives Die Set and filled the tram lines in the image with Chic Pumpkin Twinkles. I put aside the dry.

I stamped the sentiment from Phill Martin's Butterfly Elegance Sentiments Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using another die from the Maldives Set. I added it to the image die cut once the Twinkles were dry using 3D Foam.

I cut all 6 dies in Sue's Striped Nastutium Die Set out of Coconut White Card. I added Clear Perfect Medium to all of the open flowers and embossed them with Wow! Golden Flame Embossing Powder. I assembled the flowers and added a Small Black Circle Dazzler to the centres. I cut some leaves out of Black Card using Sue's Olive Branch Die Set.

I assembled the card as shown adding a 5mm Black Pearl to each corner and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

Hi Bloggers.

Another quickie today -

I started by stamping the sentiment from Phill Martin's Elegant Milestone Birthdays Stamp Set onto Black Card using Clear Perfect Medium. I added CS True White Detail Powder and heat set.

I cut the Spellbinders Cascading Stars Die out of Coconut White Card. I pressed it into Clear Perfect Medium (not being too thorough), added Wow! Misteltoe Magic Embossing Powder and heat set. I then pressed the die cut into the pad again, making sure that the remainder of the die cut was covered and I tried to touch the edges of the stars. I added Wow! Salsa Embossing Powder and heat set again.

I covered some of the fall out stars with Zig Glue and added Wow! Ballet Shoes Sparkles Glitter.

I edged the Black Card with a Zig Glue Pen and added Wow! Ballet Shoes Glitter. I added it to a Coconut White Card blank. I added the embossed die cut using CS Glue and the glittered stars using Creative Expressions Mounting Cushion. I finished by added some 5mm White Pearls to the corners.

Thanks for stopping by.
