Beautiful elegant Best Day Ever card with John
Hallo John here ( The Gentleman Crafter) and welcome to another card that I have created with the Gentlemans Emporium range from Couture Creations.
This one features both the Gentleman's Emporium set and also my own
Cut Foil & Emboss die too. :)

Best Day Ever - card by John Bloodworth
Here is what I used.
- CO726540 - Gentlemans Emporium Diecut Ephemera Set
- CO726813 - Gentlemans Emporium 6x6 Paper Pad
- CO726778 - Cut, Foil and Emboss Die - Gentleman Crafter - Woven Circles Background.
- ULT200007 - Obsidian Cardstock
- ULT200005 - Hippodrome Cardstock
- ULT200002 - Delicate Medlar Cardstock
- CO726343 - Mini Guillotine
- CO724389 - Turbo Glue Pen
- CO726428 - Black Adhesive Foam Dots
- CO724156 - Adhesive Crystals
- 13.5cm Square White Card Blank
- Smooth White cardstock
- Double-Sided Tape
- Ribbon
Here is how I made it.
First, I trimmed down the cardstock and patterned paper as follows:
Obsidian - 12cm square
Hippodrome - 11.5cm square
Delicate Medlar - 11cm square
Patterned Paper - 10.5cm square
To start the card I first added the Obsidian and Hippodrome layers of card stock to the front of the square white card.
I then used the letterpress technique with the Woven Circles die and some white card stock. This was then layered onto the patterned paper and Delicate Medlar card stock.
I then wrapped a piece of ribbon around the centre of that stack and secured it in place with double sided tape.
This was then applied to the card front using foam pads.
Two bows were then created from the same ribbon - you can of course use ready made ones if you prefer - and one was glued into place on the ribbon strip with PVA glue.
I then used foam pads to layer a couple of die cut sentiments from the Gentleman's Emporium ephemera pack and added these to the front of the card, adding the second bow on top.
Finally, I added a couple of adhesive gems to finish.
Definitely a timeless and elegant card, don't you think?
