Have A Fabulous Day

 Hello my friends!  Custard and soft gold teemed up with Decorative Labels One and matching JustRite stamps for today's card.  I did add in a much loved piece of decorative paper (origin unknown) to help achieve the finished sample but other than that it is pretty much straight forward.  I used the Bracket Border die to cut a decorative edge into my background paper.  I added some custard coloured card underneath to help show off the pretty lattice pattern of that die.  I cut a large Decorative Labels One in soft gold card as the back drop for my focal element.  I stamped the Celebration Labels One stamp and embossed it in gold.  I cut it out with a Scalloped Labels One die.  I stamped my sentiment (Justrite) and cut it out with a smaller die in the Decorative Labels One set.  I stacked and layered all the die cuts to form my focal element.  I made a rose out of the custard card and "sugared" it  with Diamond Sprinkles.  I added some gold tulle (from my stash) and some natural jute twine and seated my flower on top.  I changed my stick pins to gold by rubbing them on a clear Perfect Medium pad and sprinkling them with gold embossing powder and heating. (Be sure to put the ends into a foam mat before heating the ends.  You do not want to be holding the pin part as it will get very hot!).  I added some flatback pearls to the corners and a double pierced mat out of the soft gold card to finish a really easy card.  What a nice way to wish someone a fabulous day, don't you think!  Finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size.
I wanted to let everyone know that The Papeterie has begun to ship out the DVD of the demo day in July.  I am told they are painstakingly calling everyone that has reserved a copy to get their details, so please be patient.  If you haven't ordered your copy, it isn't too late to do so by just contacting The Papeterie in Aberdeen.  The DVD is a recorded version of the 20 demo cards that I did on the day for their charity auction.  Just so that you are aware, it isn't a slick multi camera filmed version, it was a single static camera that was set up and unmanned.  That being said, the cost is £6 and the proceeds go to a great charity they support called Archway.  I haven't actually seen the DVD yet (it is just painful for me to watch myself, so I decided I would pass!), but I believe that some have already been received by some of the blog followers so maybe there will be some feedback in case you are interested.  All for now, Sue x
