Here's today's card -
For the background, I popped the TST Leafy Mask onto a piece of Black Card, securing with Low Tack Tape. I then spread 3 colours of Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Texture Paste through the mask, sweeping across at an angle. I used Phill Martin colours in New Gold, Chic Pumpkin and Decadent Oak. I put aside to dry for a couple of hours. Once dry, I matted onto Antique Copper Pearl Card and then another layer of Black Card.
I stamped the sentiment from Phill's Butterfly Elegance Sentiments Stamp Set onto Black Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Ancient Copper Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using #2 die in Sue Wilson's Maldives Die Set. I cut #4 die in the set out of Black Card and dies #3 and #4 together out of Antique Copper Card.
I tied a bow out of 2 lengths of Black Silky Crush Ribbon. I cut the largest die in Sue's Swirly Leaf Trio Die Set out of Antique Copper Pearl Card twice and added a Black Vintage Button.
I completed my card by adding a 5mm Black Pearl to each corner.
The winner of the card from Freebie Friday on 18th November is ......................
