You Are Pretty Amazing

 Hello all!  Back to one of my personal favourite die sets today, the Elegant Labels Four.  Don't worry, I hid it from myself so I can't use it as much from now on!  I used milk coloured card with a soft lavender and I love the overall romantic feel this gives.  I embossed the background with my Basketweave embossing folder and matted it on a piece of lavender card.  Using the mauve coloured seam binding (their name), I wrapped it around the opposite corners and secured the ends to the back of the card.  I cut two of the Elegant Labels Four dies in milk card.  One of them, I stamped the centre with the Vine Scroll stamp for a soft watermark effect using a clear perfect medium pad (you can see it in the close ups below).  The other one, I cut in half and taped it to the top and bottom so that it just peeked over the edge of the die cut for a bit of an extra detail.  I stamped my sentiment in Deep Purple Archival ink and cut it out with the Petite Labels Die D-Lite.  I inked it with the same ink while still in the die and mounted it in the centre of the Elegant Labels Four die.  I tied a messy bow from the mauve seam binding and added it with a glue dot in the lower corner.  I made a rose out of purple card (using the method shown in the tutorial at the top of my blog) and seated in in the centre of my bow.  I added a pearl swirl to the opposite corners as accents before adding a double milk mat which I pierced to add the finishing touches to my card.  Finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
