One For The Girls

Good morning all!  The pendulum has swung back the other way from yesterday's guy card.  It is all girlie today.  I started with the background, which was created by inking the Mystic Embossibility folder with Tattered Rose distress ink (faux letterpress technique).  I ran it through the GC to transfer the ink to my peach coloured card (you can see it best in the last pic as it is tone on tone mostly).  I extended it by lining up the pattern and doing a few more inches in the same fashion.  I used a piece of cream Duchess lace from Creative Expressions on the side to give it a soft vintage feel.  Using the Labels 20 set and milk coloured card, I lined up the three largest dies in the set and taped them in place and cut them.  This gave me two frames and a smaller label shape (which I didn't use for this card.)  With the two frames, I added foam mounting pieces to the back.  The larger frame had an extra layer to give it the most dimension as I wanted an inverse stairstep look for this card.  I stamped the labels 20 Justrite Kindness set on to a scrap piece of decorative paper and white embossed it.  I stamped the sentiment in black ink so it would show up better.  I glued this piece to my background and added my stairstepped frames over it.  I tied a double bow with the cream silky crush ribbon, added a couple of stick pins and one of the new frosted peach Dazzlers to the centre.  As usual, I pierced the edges for a finished look.  Ah, back in my comfort zone!  All for now, Sue x
