Sneak Peek

Hi Bloggers.

Tomorrow I will be on the Craft Clinic on Create & Craft from 11am till 1pm. I hope you can join me. It's a show full of tips and techniques.

Here's today's card featuring Sue's Fire & Ice Technique -

I started by cutting Sue's French Background out of Coconut White Card. I added a piece of Creative Expressions Double Sided Self Adhesive Sheet to the front of the card. On the back, where the adhesive was exposed through the die cut, I added Cosmic Shimmer Aurora Lights Gilding Flakes and rubbed away the excess with a piece of Rubbit Scrubbit.

I peeled away the backing sheet from the other side of the adhesive (on the front of the card) and added Cosmic Shimmer Iced Snow Glitter Jewels.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Amazing Sentiments Clear Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Silver Shine Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using the Tag Die from Sue's French Border, Corner and Tag Die Set.

I cut some leaves out using Sue's Petite Vinery Die Set. I made a flower using Sue's Delicate Daisies - Open Petals Die Set and added a Small Circle Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding some 8mm White Pearls to the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Cosmic Pearl PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  20. Hello Julia and all

    Such a beautiful card I will have to try the technique, love the colour of the flakes. Thank you for sharing.

    I'm looking forward to tomorrows show, I don't know if they will listen to you at C&C but the photo's and descriptions don't match again, I have told them on the website but they are still wrong.

    Best wishes
