Sparkly Intense Pigment Stain Acetate

Hi Bloggers.

This card was the first one I demoed in the One Day Special this week. It's a very simple card but contains a cool technique.

For the background, I ran a piece of Milk Card through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine with the Creative Expressions Frosted Window Embossing Folder. I edged with Blue Lagoon Chalk Cloud using a Smoothie. I matted ontp a couple of pieces of Milk Card that I also edged with Blue Lagoon.

I popped some CS Clear Varnish Lacquer onto my Craft Sheet. I added some Bluebell CS Intense Pigment Stain and some Sparkle Star CS Diamond Frost and mixed well. I added this to a piece of Heat Emboss Acetate using a wide brush and put aside to dry (about an hour).

I cut dies #3 and #4 together from Sue Wilson's Art Deco Snowflake Die Set out of Milk Card. I cut die #4 out of my Acetate background and glued the 2 die cuts together.

I cut dies #1 and #2 together out of Milk Card. I cut die #2 out of my Acetate background and glued the 2 die cuts together.

I cut the snowflake from Sue's Looped Snowflake Frame out of Milk card and added a 5mm Cream Pearl.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Santa's Sentiments Stamp Set using Blue Lagoon Chalk Cloud. I cut it out using Sue's Pierced Flags and cut the next sized die out of my Acetate Background. I cut 3 more snowflakes out of Milk Card, adding Blue Lagoon Chalk Cloud to 2 of them.

 I completed my card by adding an 8mm Cream Pearl to each corner.
