Spread your wings

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I used the large decorative die from the Justrite A2 Butterfly Garden Dies out of Black Card (I did not use the outer die). I popped a piece of Creative Expressions Double Sided Self Adhesive Sheet onto a piece of card (doesn't matter what colour). I removed the other backing sheet and added my die cut. I added CS Aurora Lights Gilding Flakes to the exposed adhesive adhesive. I removed the excess using a piece of Rubit Scrubit.

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 Butterfly 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 out using the largest circle die from the Justrite Stitched A2 Butterfly Garden Dies.


I assembled the card as shown adding Black Card and Steel Pearl Card, some Small Black Circle Dazzlers and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.  

Thanks for stopping by.
