Because you're so special

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I popped some CS Clear Texture Paste onto my Craft Sheet. I added some Phill Martin CS Chic Viola Mica Powder and mixed well. I then spread it through the Feathered Mask onto Coconut White Card and put aside to dry.

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.

  15. 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

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

  26. Your 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
