With Very Best Wishes

Hi Bloggers.

Happy New Year!

Here's today's card -

For the background, I spread some CS Clear Texture Paste through the TST Triangular Mask onto Coconut White Card. Leaving the mask in place, I sprinkled over Phill Martin CS Mica Powders in Graceful Pink, Graceful Mint and Chic Viola using a Dusting Brush. I removed the mask and put my background aside to dry (a couple of hours).

Once my background was 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.

I stamped the sentiment and the banner from Phill Martin's Timeless Everyday Sentiment Banners Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Watering Can Archival. I cut it out using scissors, chopped off the left-hand side, shaped it and tucked it into my frame.

I cut a couple of leaves out of Coconut White Card using Sue's Trailing Ivy Die Set.

For the flower, I popped some CS Clear Ultra Thick Embossing Crystals into a Pie Dish and popped it on top of the EFCO Enamel Pot. Once moulten, I added some PM CS Chic Viola Mica Powder and mixed carefully. I poured this into a silicone mould - it sets in just a couple of minutes. It shimmers beautifully in real life.

I finished my card off by adding an 8mm White Pearl to the corners of my frame and a couple of Coconut White Card mats.
