You're the Best

Hi Bloggers.

Thank you for your kind wishes for my Mom. My Dad fetched her home yesterday. She's much better than I expected and the doctors are hopeful that she'll be back to normal in a few weeks.

I spent yesterday catching up with all the website orders and all outstanding orders will be posted this morning.

Here's today's card -

I started by spreading some CS Phill Martin Chic Magenta Sparkle Texture Paste through the Spirelli Mask onto Black Gloss Card. I put it aside to dry (approx 2 hours). I cut a frame out of Black Card using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Circles. I added to my STP background, once dry, using 3D Foam, trimming away the excess using scissors.

I embossed a piece of Coconut White using the Creative Expressions Jacobean Floral Embossing Folder. and added some White Pearl Corners.

I stamped the sentiment from Phill Martin's Butterfly Elegance Sentiments onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using Sue's Madeleine Die Set. I used the same die set to cut a black mat and a decorative white mat.

I covered a piece of Coconut White Card with CS Dark Cherry Gilding Polish. I cut solid flowers from it using Sue's Striped Nasturtium Die Set. I cut the open flowers from the set out of Black Card. I glued the flowers together in the centres only and added an 8mm White Pearl to the centres. I cut some leaves out of Coconut White Card using Sue's Olive Branch Die Set.

I assembled the card as shown piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.
