Happy Retirement

Hi Bloggers.

Here’s today’s card –

 For the background, I used a piece of Watercolour Card. I popped the Wavy Mask on top and then sprinkled CS Pixie Powders in Candy Pink and Purple Violet over. Leaving the mask in place, I then spritzed with water. I removed the mask and put aside to dry. If you wish, before removing the mask, you can pop another piece of card on top to get a negative print. 

I made a frame out of Coconut White Card using Sue Wilson’sDouble Pierced Squares and Double Pierced Squares Set B. I added this to my background using 3D Foam and trimmed away the excess using scissors.

I stamped the sentiment and the frame from the JustriteCongrats Card Basics Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet BlackArchival. I cut it out using a die from the Justrite A2 Card Front Basics DieSet. I cut the next sized die out of Black Card.

I spritzed a piece of Watercolour Card with water and then sprinkled some Candy Pink and some Purple Violet over and put aside to dry. Once dry, I cut some flowers using Sue’s Exquisite Poppy Die Set. Whilst the card was still in the die, I coloured the veins using a Pigma Micron Pen. I cut some stamens out of Black Card and some centres out of Coconut White Card using the same die set. I cut some leaves out of Coconut White Card using Sue’s Olive Branch Die Set.

 I cut some corners out of Black Card using Justrite A2 Card Front Basics. 

I assembled the card as shown adding a Black Card mat, a Coconut White Card and an 8mm White Pearl to each corner of the frame.

Thanks for stopping by.
