Well its Friday which means its blue and I'm really pleased to say that Periwinkle foundation card is back in stock!! I had to show this card which was a joint effort between me and Mr ND as he added all the twinkles to the card when finished!
I stared by embossing a square of milk card with the new Creative Expressions 8x8 embossing folder Scored lines. I the repeated the procedure with a piece of Periwinkle foundation card I then cut the opposite triangles out of the blue and glued them over corresponding areas of the milk embossed piece. Mr ND then added Aurora Twinkles to the blue and Decadent Denim to the milk.
This was mounted onto a layer of milk and cobalt foundation card to give a crisp line to the edges of the card.
I then cut the largest square from the Herald Square die set in periwinkle and added a thin mat of the cobalt to make it stand out. I then cut the filigree die from the same set in milk to which Mr ND added some more of the twinkles.
Finally I cut a plain square using the smallest square die in the set and added another square cut in milk however with this one I added the centre filigree section to the mix.
A few more applications of Twinkles, a seam binding bow, stick pins, pearl embellishment and a couple of stick pins made from the new elements set and finished.Hopefully you will like our joint effort!
Ingredients:

Love it The embossing folder is a great idea of taking away laboriously scoring by hand - tried it once Never again! Mr ND has done a brilliant job I like that you haven't added a sentiment too Just to say that Blurred Lines is a fav track of mine and daughter's We use it as a warm up track to Cha Cha to at her Salsa class!

Hi John and Mr ND. This is stunning! You've both changed my mind about that folder...wasn't going to get one but think I'll put it in my wish list!
ReplyDeleteGood morning John,
ReplyDeleteCrikey this getting Mr ND involved in your crafty process is getting serious, you had better watch otherwise he will be pinching your crafty paradise and become a serious contender for designing. ;)
Sorry couldn't resist, because it is nice when your other half takes an interest in what you are doing and between you, you have made a rather pretty card that without the bow i am quite sure you boys would like to receive this. Thank you John and of course Mr ND for another lovely piece of inspiration,
crafty hugs
