Sneak Peek

Hi all!  As promised, a sneaky little peek from one of the bundles from Sunday's show.  This one features Becca Feeken's Filigree Bracket Label die and stamp set which I think is absolutely stunning!  This die set was initially only available through her monthly club kit, and I had to do a bit of begging (I'm not proud! LOL) to get it, but it is lovely and can be used in so many ways.  I believe that it is not been released for sale anywhere except on my shows tomorrow too.  I used the larger label shape to cut an aperture in the raspberry card.  I added some mounting foam to the back to raise it for dimension and stamped the background with the Moroccan Lattice background stamp from Justrite.  I did a tone on tone with the black embossing on black card as I love the way that looks.  It adds so much interest without overwhelming. I used the tag from the set to stamp my sentiment which is from her set called "What Defines Us" and added it to the centre of the aperture opening.  I highlighted it with Victorian Velvet distress ink before removing it from the die.  I stamped the rose three times and coloured them with pencils and cut them out (by hand), leaving a white edged margin for definition.  I mounted them around the aperture opening as accents.  I used the fall away pieces from the Marvellous Squares in the corners (such a nice little piece, it just always fills the bill!)  I finished the card with both a black mat with black PVA glue dots and then my final double white pierced mats.  Finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/2" in size.

Let's not forget that today is the day to announce the winner of the Wednesday card giveaway.  The winner is:

Jackie Trinder!!!

It's a busy weekend for the Creative Expressions team on Create and Craft.  Julia Watts has two shows today, the first one at 12 noon and again at 5pm.  You will love the new stamps on the shows too, they are just gorgeous!  All for now, Sue x
