Framed Notes

Hi Bloggers.

Got back quite late last night from a busy demo day at Samuel Taylors. Today I need to re-group and get on with my prep for Wednesday's shows on Hochanda.

Here's today's card -

For the background within the frame, I cut the Couture Creations Island Flower Border out of a couple of papers from Phill Martin's Graceful Butterflies & Dragonflies 8 x 8 Paper Pad. I glued them to a piece of Coconut White Card and ran them through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Random Daisies Embossing Folder.

I made a frame out of Coconut White Card and the plain side of a paper from Phill's Paper Pad using Sue Wilson's Ormate Pierced Rectangles Die Set. I added this to my background using 3d Foam.

I cut the Couture Creations Musical Notes Die out of Coconut White Card and rubbed Phill's Cosmic Shimmer Decadent Denim Gilding Wax over the surface.

I cut the largest die in Sue's Ornate Pierced Rectangles Die Set out of Coconut Card. I embossed a piece of Coconut White Card using the Couture Creations Cotton Thread Quilt Embossing Folder. I added these 2 layers to the back of my framed piece.

I tied a bow using Blue Satin Edged Organza. I pressed a Metal Dazzler Setting into Clear Perfect Medium, added Cosmic Shimmer Blue Speckle Embossing Powder and heat set. I added a Blue Circle Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding a couple of White 5mm Pearls to the corners and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

Thanks for stopping by.
