Hi Bloggers.
My Dad's tests went well yesterday and he needs to have another check up in 6 months time. Good news.
Here's today's card -
I started by spreading some
Phill Martin CS Decadent Denim Sparkle Texture Paste through the
Christmas Quilt Mask onto a piece of
Acetate. I put it aside to dry (a couple of hours).
I made a frame out of
Coconut White Card using
Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Squares and
Double Pierced Squares Set B. I added
3D Foam to my frame and then added it to my background (once dry). I trimmed away the excess acetate then added more 3D Foam to the back around the frame (making sure there were no gaps in the foam).
I popped some
Snow White Micro Beads into the centre of a mat of Coconut White Card and then added my frame.
I stamped the 2 sizes of veins from the
Justrite Multi-Step Poinsettia Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card several times using
Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with
CS Denim Brilliant Sparkle Embossing Powder. I cut them out using
Justrite Multi-Step Poinsettia Dies and added some Snow White Micro Beads to the centres using
CS Glue.
I stamped the sentiment from the
Justrite Mini Tags Clear Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using
Cobalt Archival. I cut it out using a die from the
Justrite Snowflake Mini Tags Die Set. I tucked the tag behind a poinsettia securing with CS Glue.
I assembled the card as shown adding another mat of Coconut White Card, some
Blue Dazzlers to the corners of my frame and some
5mm White Pearls onto the centres of the Texture Paste Snowflakes.

ReplyDeleteSo pleased that your dad's tests were OK. Elderly parents are increasingly a worry aren't they?
ReplyDeleteOn a more cheerful not than that last point: this a lovely card. I especially like this mask and because it can be cut up along set lines it is a particularly useful one. Love the flowers.
