Relax & Enjoy

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I spread some CS Clear Texture Paste through the Wavy Mask onto Coconut White Card. Leaving the mask in place, I sprinkled some Aqua Lagoon, Purple Violet and Golden Mint CS Pixie Powders. I removed the mask and cleaned it straight away and put the background aside to dry.

I made my usual frame out of Coconut White Card using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Squares and Double Pierced Squares Set B. I added it to my background once it was dry using 3d Foam Tape.

I stamped the sea horse from the Justrite At the Beach Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card 5 times using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed using CS Black Detail Embossing Powder. I tapped a little of the 3 Pixie Powders I had used in my background into separate wells in a palette. I added a little water to each one and painted the sea horses. Once they were dry, I cut them all out using Justrite At the Beach Dies.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set, again using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Black Detail Embossing Powder. I stamped a frame from the Justrite Congrats Card Basics Stamp Set around it. I cut it out using a die from the Justrite A2 Card Basics Dies and cut the next sized die as a mat. I spritzed a little water into my Craft Sheet, added a little Golden Mint Pixie Powder and mixed it. I picked it up onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam and used it to edge my sentiment panel. I did the same with Purple Violet Pixie Powder and the sentiment mat.

I cut some corners out of Black Card using Justrite A2 Card Basics Dies and added them to my frame as shown.

    Great Card. I love the background. One of my favourite masks, I like the use of it vertically, it has a weed look. Thanks for sharing.
