Turn Your Face to the Sun

Hi Bloggers.

First day of our Road Trip today. Heading up to Northallerton ready for our demo day tomorrow.

Here's today's card -

This is one of those cards that's an exercise in patience as you have to wait for each corner to dry before going on to the next one. You can use your heat gun to dry the paste but the finish is not as good as when you leave it to dry naturally. The corners are using the Rose Copper Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Texture Paste with the Art Deco Elements Mask.

I wrapped some White Crochet Ribbon around the centre, added a bow and a Clear Sparkler.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Sunflowers Vintage Labels Five using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels Five and inked through the die with Tattered Rose Distress Ink. I cut the largest die in the set out of Blush Card and again inked through the die with Tattered Rose.

I assembled the card as shown adding a White 8mm Pearl in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Cosmic Pearl  around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  5. Enjoy the trip Today's card is lovely I love the texture paste but I'm not a fan of sparkly unless it's at least 1/2 carat Dahling! I will have to investigate Does it come in metallic or is that only the paint

  20. Hello Julia, For me, this card would be done at the end of my crafty sessions and just add a corner til I could finish it off ( in my dreams) I have very little patience but it does look so good it's worth the wait.
