You are in my thoughts

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I embossed a piece of Black Card using the Couture Creations Large Circles Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design. I made a frame out of Coconut White Card using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Squares and Double Pierced Squares Set B. I added the frame to my background using 3d Foam.

I popped some CS Flake & Glitter Glue onto a piece of Wax Paper. I picked it up onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam and used it to ink up the image from the Justrite Meadow Circles Stamp Set. I stamped it onto Black Card leaving the stamp on the card no more than 3 seconds so as not to tear the card. I cleaned my stamp under a cold tap and then went back to my stamped image. I added CS Aurora Lights Gilding Flakes. I removed the excess using a piece of Rubit Scrubit. I cut it to size using Justrite Stitched A2 Banners & Rectangles Dies.

I cut the largest 2 dies together from Sue Wilson's Melbourne Die Set out of Coconut White Card twice. I scored them, cut along one score line to the centre and folded mountain and valley folds. I glued the 2 together and added my Meadow Circle to the centre using 3d Foam.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Clear Perfect Medium onto Black Card and embossed with CS Silver Shine Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using a die from the Justrite A2 Card Front Basics Die Set and cut another die from the same setout of Coconut White Card.

I assembled the card as shown adding some 8mm Black Pearls to the corners.

  22. Lovely card. Like the rosettes and centre price. I love stamping with flake and glitter glue /gilding flakes but frequently forget the 3 second rule so there are invariably repeats LOL
