Friends are still warming the Heart!

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I spritzed a piece of Coconut White Card with water and then added some CS Peacock Green and Golden Mint Pixie Powders. I usually leave it to dry naturally but I wanted a lighter finish on this card so I ran a Kitchen Roll over it - this removes some of the mica (which is why I prefer to leave it to dry naturally). There is still some shine left, though it;s hard to show in a photograph.

I made sure it was completely dry and then stamped the Justrite Text Background using Coffee Archival. I made sure the ink was completely dry and dusted with an Anti-Static Bag. I stamped some elements from the Justrite Floral Silhouettes One Stamp Set using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Black Mirage Embossing Powder. I trimmed the background down and edged with Basil Leaf Colour Cloud using a Smoothie.

I stamped my favourite sentiment of the moment from the Justrite Circle of Friends Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I used Sue Wilson's Australian Collection to cut it and the Black Mat out (can't remember which ones and I forgot to write it down!). I edged the sentiment with Basil Leaf Colour Cloud.

I assembled the card as shown piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.
