Gilded Elf Tonic

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For my background, I cut dies #1 and #3 from Sue Wilson's Holly Lattice Frame into Coconut White Card several times. I popped a piece of CE Double Sided Self Adhesive Sheet on the front and rubbed CS Warm Sunrise Gilding Flakes into the exposed adhesive. I removed the excess with a piece of Rubit Scrubit. I turned the piece over and removed the other backing sheet. I added CS Diamond Sprinkles to the adhesive.

I made a frame using Sue's Double Pierced Squares Set B and added it to my background using 2mm Foam Tape. I matted onto a couple pieces of Coconut White Card.

I popped some CS Flake & Glitter Glue onto a piece of Wax Paper. I picked it up onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam and used it to 'ink up' the Woodware Elf Tonic Tag. I stamped onto Coconut White Card, leaving the stamp on the card no longer than 3 seconds. I popped the stamp into a bowl of water to soak the glue off. I find this is the best way to clean the stamps.

I added CS Warm Sunrise Gilding Flakes to my stamped tag. I removed the excess using a piece of Rubit Scrubit. I cut it out using die #5 from Sue's Holly Lattice Frame Stamp Set.

I popped some more Double Sided Self Adhesive Sheet onto Coconut White Card. I cut 2 sets of inner poinsettia flowers from Sue's Poinsettia Cluster out of it and cut the outer die out of Coconut White Card twice. I glued the inners to the outers with a little dot in the centre of each flower and added a cluster to opposite corners of my frame.

I completed my card by adding a 5mm White Pearl to the centre of each flower in the clusters.

Thanks for stopping by.
