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.

Julia.

  22. Hello Julia.

    Lovely Card. Great die, I like the way you have used the extra die cut. I think black and white is so stylish, the shimmer of the gilding wax is coming through on these photos a little, lovely effect. Thanks for sharing.

    Best wishes
