Feeling rather weary today, I spent a long night in the craft room creating, and had a rotten sleep so today not much is getting done around here....LOL.
So whilst I was making the card yesterday I decided to also use another one of my new stamps and create with some more distress inks.
I started with white card stock, cut to size and folded in half. Next I took my Hero Arts, Friend Definition stamp and stamped over the front of the card with some Colorbox Ink, Muted Moods, Antique Pewter, I set this aside to dry. I then took some water coloured paper and stamped the Hero Arts, Starburst Lace with some Versamark Ink and embossed it with some American Crafts, Zing, White embossing powder. I took some Ranger, Distress Ink, Barn Door, Rusty Hinge and Tumbled Glass and blended over the top of the embossed image. I took some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, Pearl and spritzed over the top until the colours slightly blended together, and me being impatient I heat set the image. I cut around the Starburst Lace image and adhered to the front of the card with some foam dimensionals, adding a pearl to the centre as a added feature. Lastly, I added a sentiment to the top of the card using Hero Arts, Thoughtful Messages stamp set and some extra pearls to finish the card.
Here are some more views of the card.
I also wanted to add here a very big thank you to everyone that has taken the time to view my videos and make some sweet comments on my blog, I must say that Darryl is also excited about receiving lovely comments.
I have a couple of other photos to share with you today also. This morning I went for a walk around my garden and realised that the trees out the front of our house were in true Autumn colour, so could not resist in sharing this with you. The colours are amazing, just wished the photo reflected this.
Well enjoy the rest of your weekend and I will see you all back here tomorrow.
Hugs.
JOY

The Starburst Lace is beautiful. I love the multicolour effect of the lace. Your trees also look fabulous. I think adelaide has skipped autumn and gone straight to winter!

A beautiful card - as usual. Have a great weekend!
Gorgeous card, Joy! Love how you've used the starburst stamp! Wow!
Great card! The Starburst Lace reminds me of a game that I used to play as a kid called "Spirograph". Brings back nice memories!
Love the colours on the Starburst!
