Here's today's card -
I made a frame out of Coconut White Card using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Rectangles and Double Pierced Rectangles Set B. I added it to my background using 3D Foam Tape and trimmed away the excess using scissors.
I stamped the sentiment and the flag from Phill's Timeless Everday Sentiment Banners Stamp Set using Watering Can Archival. I cut it out using scissors, shaped it and slotted it into my frame.
I popped some Chic Viola Mica Powder into a well in a Mixing Palette, added water and mixed to make a paint. I painted onto Coconut White Card. Once dry, I cut the largest die in Sue's Exquisite Poppy Die Set twice. I cut the stamen diefrom the same set out of Coconut White Card.
I lit the tea lights in the EFCO Enamel Pot. I added some CS Clear Ultra Thick Embossing Crystals to a pie dish and popped it on the hot plate. Once moulten, I added Chic Viola Mica Powder and mixed well. I poured it into a mould made from a cheap button and Ranger Mold n Pour. After a couple of minutes, I removed it from the mould and added it to the centre of my flower.
I cut a couple of leaves out of Coconut White Card using Sue's Trailing Ivy Die Set.
I completed my card by adding an 8mm White Pearl to the corners of my frame and a couple of Coconut White Card mats.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Julia. The look of this card is right up my street. I just need to get organised to make a few backgrounds as I usually sit and make a card from start to finish and then realise i should have made a texture paste the day before. SueL x

Like this card a lot, especially the way in which the mask takes centre stage, all to often a lovely mask is covered.

Hi Julia I love this card the feathered mask is lovely I'll have to get that one The technique for the flower centre is one I've not seen done how inventive!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Julia. Love everything about it. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI like your techniques you used on your card today. I enjoyed your shows on hochanda where you were molding buttons. Looked like fun! Thank you for sharing your ideas.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you have made the flower and its centre - really lovely
ReplyDeleteYour texture paste through a stencil always comes out so neat, I tape mine down and put it through sparingly at first not to get it everywhere, but it never looks as neat as your Julia...this is so beautiful....Must get some mold n pour to try experimenting, love this idea....luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteYou've used lots of interesting techniques today Julia. Pretty card.
