I don't seem to have blogged this one from last year -
For the background, I misted an A4 piece of Watercolour Card with water and sprinkled Teal Wash and Purple Violet Pixie Powder over. I put aside to dry. Once dry, I added a piece of Creative Expressions Double Sided Adhesive to just under half of it and then popped 2 borders cut from Coconut White Card with Sue Wilson's Caribbean Corner, Border, Tag Die Set. I then added CS Iced Snow Glitter Jewels to the remaining exposed adhesive.
I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite For All You Do Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using Sue's St. Lucia Die Set. I cut the other dies in the set out of Coconut White Card and some of my remaining PP background and stacked them up.
I made some flowers from my background using Sue's Exquisite Poppy Die Set. I drew through the dies with a Pigma Micron Pen to create the veins in the petals. I cut the centres out of Black and Coconut White Card. I cut some leaves out of Coconut White Card using Sue's Trailing Ivy Die Set.
I assembled the card as shown piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.
