Make a Wish

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card (another from our playdate) -

For the background, I popped some CS Clear Texture Paste onto my Craft Sheet. I sprinkled some CS Straw Yellow Pixie Powder onto it and mixed it really well. I placed the Peacock Mask onto a piece of Coconut White Card, securing with Low Tack Tape. I put my texture along one edge of the mask and used a Dreamweaver Texture Paste Spreader to move the paste across my mask- brillaint tool, gives a lovely smooth finish and is wide enough to reach across the width of the mask. Leaving the mask in place, I sprinkled some CS Burnt Orange Pixie Powder over and removed the mask. I put my background aside to dry (approx 2 hours). I love the way the Pixie Powder crystalises as it dries.

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

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Cupcake Celebration Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Coffee Archival. I cut it out using Sue's Indian Ocean Tag Duo. I used the same tag to mount my sentiment, using Coconut White and Custard Card.

I made a flower out of Custard Card using Sue's Cape Daisy Die Set and added a Craft Consortium Pearl & Diamante Circle to the centre. I cut a couple of leaves out of Coconut White Card using Sue's Bold Scrolled Vine Die Set.

I finished my card with a few 8mm White Pearls on my frame and some mats of Coconut White and Custard Card.
