Hi Bloggers.
This card is made up from demo bits!
For the background, I first spread some Phill Martin CS Decadent Denim Pearl Texture Paste through the Wavy Mask onto Milk Card across the centre diagonally. I then added some Phill Martin CS Decadent Teal Sparkle Texture Paste to fill in the gaps. Where the two pastes met, they merged looking very pretty! I is aside to dry (approx 2 hours).
The frame is cut from Cobalt Card - the outer edge is from a Spellbinders 6 x 6 Matting Basics A Die and the inner edge is from a Spellbinders 6 x 6 Matting Basics B Die. I lined the dies up on my tan mat on my pink plate and then added the Wired Mask and then the base plate. I ran them through the Grand Calibur and removed the mask. I then ran it through the Calibur with the cut sandwich. I rubbed some of Phill Martin's Decadent Teal Gilding Wax over the surface.
I stamped the frame and the sentiment from John Lockwood's Daisy Chain Elements Stamp Set using Cobalt Archival (I've just spotted a void created by a little spec of Iced Snow - it gets everywhere! Too late now!) I cut it out using Spellbinders 6 x 6 Matting Basics B and inked through the die with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink using a Smoothie. I cut a mat out of Cobalt Card using Spellbinders 6 x 6 Matting Basics A.
I tied a bow out of 2 lengths of Tornado Blue Satin Ribbon. I made a flower using Spellbinders Flower Play and added a little Blue Dazzler.
John Lockwood has shows today on Create & Craft at 8am and 3pm with his new stamps (also available here on my website).
Thanks for stopping by.
