Hi Bloggers.
Here’s today’s card –
For the background, I spread some CS Egyptian Blue SparkleTexture Paste through the Christmas Quilt Mask onto Teal Card and put aside to
dry (a couple of hours). Once dry, I added a frame made from Coconut White Card
cut using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Squares and Double Pierced Squares Set B.
I cut the decorative snowflake die from the JustriteSnowflake and Tag Dies out of Coconut White Card twice. I glued them together,
offsetting them to form a full circle.
I cut the inner die out of Coconut White
Card and double embossed it using Clear Perfect Medium and CS Blue ZirconBrilliant Sparkle Embossing Powder. I added this to my snowflake circle and
popped an 8mm White Pearl to the centre.
I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Inside and OutsideChristmas Sentiments Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect
Medium and embossed with Blue Zircon Brilliant Sparkle Embossing Powder. I cut
it out using a die from the Joy Oval Frame Dies.
I double embossed 4 x 8mm White Pearls by pressing them into
Clear Perfect Medium and embossing them with the Blue Zircon Powder.
I assembled the card as shown adding some mats of Coconut
White and Teal Card.
Thanks for stopping by.
