Thanks

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I embossed a piece of Coconut White Card using the Couture Creations Velvet Tea Lights Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design.

I cut a piece of Black Card using SueWilson's Double Pierced Squares. I popped the larger die in the Couture Creations Mercanto Flourish die set into the centre and ran it through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine. I cut the extra die in the set out of the waste from the centre of the die cut frame. I covered both ddie cuts with Pewter Gilding Wax and put aside to dry for a few minutes. Once dry, I carefully buffed it up using a dry wet wipe.

I glued the extra die cut to the frame, securing at the back using a little Cosmic Shimmer Glue.

I added the frame to the background using 3d Foam.

I masked the 'so much' part of the 'Thanks so much' sentiment from the Creative Expressions Fabulous Sentiments Stamp Set and inked with Watering Can Archival. I removed the mask and stamped onto Coconut White Card. I cut it out using the smallest die in the Couture Creations Scrolled Tomentosa Die Set. I cut the middle size die from the same die set out of Black Card and rubbed Pewter Gilding Wax over it.

I assembled the card as shown piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

Thanks for stopping by.
