I had a lovely day with the ladies at my workshop yesterday. My next workshops are on Saturday inYardley Gobion. John Glossop will be running a Powertex Workshop and Tracey Laughton will be running a Tropical Summer themed workshop with stamps by Lisa Horton and Woodware. You can still book on both workshops via my website here.
Here's today's card -
For the background, I cut the inner die from one of the corner dies from Sue Wilson's Indonesian Border and Corners Die Set out of Coconut White Card twice and the inner die from the border once. I popped a piece of CE Double Sided Self -Adhesive Sheet onto a piece of Coconut White Card. I peeled away the other backing sheet and added to the back of my background. I added CS Sunlight Speckle Gilding Flakes, removing the excess with a piece of Rubit Scrubit. I matted onto Gold Mirror Card and then onto another piece of Coconut White.
I stamped the sentiment from the CE Petite Lavish Sentiments Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Silver Dollar Brilliant Sparkle Embossing Powder. I cut it out using the smallest die from the Java Die Set.
I cut die #4 from Sue's Sumatra Die Set out of Gold Mirror Card and die #5 from the same set out of Silver Mirror Card.
I completed my card by edging my background and my sentiment with CS Glue and adding CS Iced Crystal Glitter Jewels.

Morning Julia, now this card is super duper, it is my kind of card, infact I was at my craft group yesterday and we used these dies on a card that we made, so I know exactly where they are filed away and can try this one.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
