The Terrible Twos

Hi Bloggers.

Phew! What a busy One Day Special that was! Glad you loved the stamps and other goodies as much as I do. Busy day today - catching up with orders and then I have to drive up to the West Midlands to take my Dad to the hospital for tests early tomorrow morning. It's just a routine test, nothing to worry about.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I dusted a piece of Coconut White Card with an Anti-Static Bag. I inked up the Gone to Pieces Mask with Clear Perfect Medium. I popped it, inked side up onto my Spellbinders Platinum Machine, added the card (dusted side down) and ran through the machine with the embossing sandwich. The ink transferrred to the deboss pattern. I added CS Crushed Grape Brillant Sparkle Embossing Powder and heat set using a Low Speed Heat Tool. I trimmed it, matted it onto Black and then Coconut White Card.

I stamped the little shoes from the Woodware Toddler Shoes Stamp Set onto the plain side of a paper from Phill Martin's Timeless Paper Pad using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Black Detail Embossing Powder. I painted with Seedless Preserves Distress Crayon from Set 2 - I scribbled some onto my Craft Sheet and picked up with a Water Brush. For the darker shades, I added a little CS Midnight Sky Pixie Powder to the Crayon, for the lighter shades, I added a little White Pearl Pixie Powder to the Crayon. I cut the shoes out using scissors. I added Quickie Glue Pen to the lace on the shoes and when clear, I added CS Sparkle Star Polished Silk Glitter.

I cut an oval out of Coconut White Card using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Ovals. At the emboss stage, I added the Boomerang Mask and then inked through the die with Decadent Grape CS Colour Cloud using a Smoothie. I cut a mat out of Black Card using Sue's Double Pierced Ovals Set B.

I stamped the sentiment from the same set onto Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Black Detail Embossing Powder. I cut out using Sue's Double Pierced Squares Set B and inked through the die with Decadent Grape Colour Cloud. I cut a Black mat using Sue's Double Pierced Squares.

I cut a couple of little animals out of the Timeless Paper using Sue's Stuffed Animals Die Set.

I finished my card off by adding a 5mm White Pearl to each corner.

Thanks for stopping by.
