Happy Birthday

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

The background is another technique that I've adapted from Sue Wilson and, with the sentiment, quite appropriate as it's Sue's birthday today!

So, for the background I used a piece of Heat Emboss Acetate (doesn't have to be heat emboss but it's easier than keeping 2 separate packets!). I ran a trail of Cosmic Shimmer Clear Varnish Lacquer all over it and then sprinkled CS Scarlet Mist Pixie Powder over. I used my fingers to mix the Pixie Powder nd the Lacquer and cover the whole surface. I scrunched up a white piece of Tissue Paper, openend it a little and then pressed it into the pixie/laquer mix and then put aside to dry.

I made a frame out of Coconut White Card using Sue's Double Pierced Rectangles and Double Pierced Rectangles Set B. Once my background was dry, I added my frame using 3d Foam Tape.

I misted a piece of Watercolour Card with water and then sprinkled some Scarlet Mist Pixie Powder over. Once completely dry, I dusted with an Anti-Static Bag and then stamped the flower from the Justrite Applique Flowers Stamp Set twice using Clear Perefect Medium and embossed with CS Black Detail Embossing Powder. I cut them out using scissors, glued them together offsetting the petals and added one of my favourite Craft Consortium Vintage Pearl Charms. I cut a couple of leaves out of Black Card using Sue's Orange Blossom Leaves.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set onto Coconut White Card, again using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with Black Detail Powder. I cut it out using Sue's Pierced Flags and cut a Black Mat using the same die set.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Small Black Circle Dazzlers and a couple of mats of Black and Coconut White Card.

I'm really sorry but I didn't get all of my orders yesterday so I was unable to send everything out. They're due in on Monday so I'll catch up then.
