Best Wishes

Hi Bloggers.

I'm glad you're loving the new Polished Silk Glitters. I wish you could all feel how smooth they are. I will be demonstrating the glitters at Ally Pally next month so if you are going then please come and see me and you can have a feel of it.

This was the first card I demoed on Saturday.

I cut the Spellbinders Die D-Lites Floral Border out of Black Card. After embossing I removed it from the die and dusted with my anti static bag. I popped the die cut back in the die and then inked through the die with Perfect Medium. I removed it again and then dusted with the Mustard Green Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Golden Winter Mica Spray Set.

For the frame, I popped a piece of Double Sided Adhesive onto some card and used 2 of the 5 x 7 Matting Basics B dies to cut the frame. I removed the backing from the adhesive and rubbed some Brilliant Blue Cosmic Shimmer Polished Silk Glitter into it. I removed the excess and really worked the glitter in. I ran the frame through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Crazy Daisy Embossing Folder. I made the embossing 'pop' by carefully running a Jet Black Archival Ink Pad over the top.

For the background, I used a 5 3/4" square of card with double sided adhesive on it. I dusted the Fretwork Mask lightly with my anti static bag. I popped it onto the double sided adhesive and then added the Sea Green Polished Silk Glitter. I really rubbed it in with my fingers. I made sure all the glitter was removed from my mask and then removed it from the adhesive. I added the Brilliant Blue Glitter and rubbed it into the newly exposed adhesive.

I stamped the sentiment, which comes with the Leafy Swirl Stamp, directly on to the glittered background.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Black Pearl around the edges.

My shows today are at 8am, 12noon and 5pm. Hope you can join me.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
