Have A Fabulous Day

Hi bloggers!  Silver and celery are the colours of choice for today's card.  I used the border stamp from the Celebrations Labels One set by Justrite and stamped it on the celery coloured card using a clear perfect medium pad.  I heat embossed it with Silver Shine embossing powder.  I used the edger from the Bracket Borders to cut the matching shape around it.  Leaving an open area for my focal element, I did the same thing on the opposite side of the card.  I lined this piece up with some white card and embossed the Bracket border design into the edge of the white card.  I cut four pieces of the Damask Motif die out of white card.  These pieces were then added to each side of a Fleur de Lis Square cut out of grey card.  There are little "helping hands" on the Damask die which allow them to hold on to other die shapes.  Next I stamped the square from the Celebration Labels one set and heat embossed it with silver powder.  I cut it out with two of the Scalloped Labels One die shapes.  I attached it in a diamond orientation atop the Fleur de lis square.  I stamped the smaller square from the same set and embossed it in silver as well.  The sentiment was then stamped in the centre with a black Archival ink pad and the piece was cut out with the Scalloped Labels One set.  I added it in the centre of my card with mounting foam.  I made a rose out of celery card following the direction on my tutorial at the the of the blog.  I covered the flower with Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue and "sugared" it with Cosmic Shimmer Diamond Sprinkles.  I tied a messy bow out of white seam binding and seated my flower in the centre.  I completed the card with a pierced edge on the top and bottom of my card and a few flatback pearls as accents.  Finished dimensions are 7" x 9" in size.
