Just For You

Hi guys!  Labels 20 again today.  This card is white with a bit of silver and black to it.  I embossed the white background with the Floral embossing folder.  I cut the largest label 20 die in white and added the matching black rhinestone nestabling to the edge.  This served as the bottom layer for my focal element.  Next I stamped the Justrite stamp from the Kindness set using a clear perfect medium pad and I heat embossed with black embossing powder for a tone on tone look.  I cut it out with the matching die and on the inside I used the fancy tags two die so I created a frame of sorts.  I cut another labels 20 out of silver card and glued the two pieces together. When I demoed this one on C & C, I added clear micro beads to the silver die cut and thought it came out quite pretty.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with one of the smaller Labels 20 dies.  I inked it lightly with Black Soot while still in the die.  I mounted it on foam in the middle for dimension.  I created a plaited ribbon border for the bottom of my card using the reversible black/silver satin ribbon.  I have a tutorial showing how to do this at the top of the blog now.  I used the same ribbon, but in a thinner width to add a decorative bow.  A black Dazzler and stick pins completed the embellishment nicely.  I added some black rhinestone swirls to the top and bottom opposite corners.  I pierced around the edges using a piercing ruler to complete the card.  Finished dimensions are 7 1//2" x 8 1/2" in size.

  178. Love white, silver & black used together. Very striking :-) the ribbon is so pretty & I have to say labels 20 is probably still my favourite set of labels even though I often use others if it suits a project. The stamps are just gorgeous that match those labels. Claire x

  180. These oils have been tested and proven to be effective against a
    variety of warts. Another available treatment option that can be done at home without
    a prescription is a topical ointment. This sounds drastic but as long as you pay
    due care and attention when carrying the task out the removal should happen without a hitch.
