Thank You for being my Friend

Hi Bloggers.

As mentioned yesterday, I'm demoing at Apple Crafts in Chapel St Leonards near Skegness today. 10am till 4pm. Please stop by if you're in the area.

Here's today's card - still using up demo bits!

The background is a variation of Sue Wilson's Fire & Ice Technique but with mica powders instead of Gilding Flakes.

I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Grate Effect Die (just the inner die). I put a piece of Creative Expressions Double Sided Self Adhesive Sheet over the front. I turned it over and dusted some Phill Martin Cosmic Shimmer Mica Powders over the adhesive peering through the die cut - I used Decadent Teal, Decadent Denim, and Decandent Oak. I removed the excess mica powder using a dry wet wipe. It's very important at this point to seal the back as some excess mica powder may be hiding somewhere and you don't want to contaminate the Glitter Jewels used in the next step. So, I glued a piece of Coconut White Card over the mica area using Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue.

I turned the piece over, removed the other piece of backing from the Adhesive Sheet and added Cosmic Shimmer Iced Snow Glitter Jewels.

 I stamped the sentiment from John Lockwood's Cherry Blossom Elements Stamp Set using Cobalt Archival. I cut it out using a die from the Spellbinders Devine Floral Die Set and inked through the die with Stormy Sky Distress Ink.

I cut a frame out of Coconut White Card using Spellbinders Grand Rectangles and some White Pearl Corners.

I assembled the card as shown piercing around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.
