Thank you so much

Hi Bloggers.

I'm heading up to CE HQ today to run a workshop focussing on Alcohol Inks and Sue Wilson Dies. Should be a good day.

Here's today's card -

Wish you could see this in real life - much more vibrant and sparkly 'in the flesh'.

For the background, I popped the TST Leafy Mask onto a piece of Watercolour Card. I sprinkled Pixies Powders over - Pale Olive, Burnt Orange and Straw Yellow. I then spritzed with water. I removed the mask (cleaned under a tap) and put my background aside to dry. Once dry, I trimmed and matted onto Black Card.

I stamped the sentiment from Phill Martin's Butterfly Elegance Sentiments Stamp Set (my go to set at the moment - love the font Phill has used on these) onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut out using Sue Wilson's Stitched Flags and cut a mat out of Black Card with a larger die from the same set. I glued the 2 die cuts together and shaped them while the glue was still wet. I added them to my background, reinforcing the centre with 3d Foam Pads. I used Phill Martin CS New Gold Twinkles to edge the flag and my background and put aside to dry (a couple of hours).

I made a flower out of White Crochet Ribbon and cut some leaves out of Black Card using Sue's Olive Branch.

I assembled the card as shown adding a 5mm White Pearl to each corner and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat. 

Thanks for stopping by.
