Love & Kisses

Hi Bloggers.

Back from a busy One Day Special. Today I'm hoping to get on with some chores that I haven't been able to do for the last few weeks including sorting out the website stock that is sat in my lounge! Wish me luck!

Here's today's card -

The background is a Sue Wilson technique - I think it's called Mother of Pearl technique. I used a piece of Heat Emboss Acetate. I added some CS Clear Varnish Lacquer and then some CS Phill Martin Titanium Mica Powder. I mixed it together, spreading it all over the Acetate. I scrunched up a piece of White Tissue Paper, added it to my background and put aside to dry.

I cut the Spellbinders Renaissance Border Two Die out of Coconut White Card 4 times and added it to the front of my background once dry, offsetting them as shown.

I made a frame out of Coconut White Card using Sue Wilson's Stitched Lattice Frame Die Set and added it to my background using 3d Foam.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Spring Wishes Vintage Labels Eight Stamp Set using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Silver Shine Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using one of the smaller dies in the Spellbinders Acanthus Leaf Tag Die Set and also cut the corresponding larger tag die out of Steel Pearl Card.

Last day - 10% discount on new Sue Wilson Festive Collection till midnight tonight.You can find them on my website here. Discount will be applied automatically at checkout.

 Thanks for stopping by.
