Relax & Enjoy

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I spread some CS Clear Texture Paste through the In the Net Mask onto Coconut White Card. I removed the mask and sprinkled over some CS Phill Martin Decadent Grape Embossing Powder, CS Snowcap Brilliant Sparkle Embossing Powder and CS Fuchsia Mica Flakes. I heat set using a low speed Heat Tool. The embossing powder crackles and together with the Texture Pastes, it binds the mica flakes to the background.

I stamped the shells and the star fish from the Justrite At the Beach Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Black Detail Embossing Powder. I coloured them in using CS Pixie Powders in Silver Dream and Purple Violet by tapping a little into a Mixing Palette and using water from my Water Brush to mix into a paint. I made sure the paint was dry andthen cut the shells and star fish out using the Justrite At the Beach Dies.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set and the frame from the Justrite Congrats Card Basics Stamp Set, again using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Black Detail Embossing Powder. I coloured in sections of the frame using the same two Pixie Powders. I cut it out using Justrite A2 Card Front Basics Dies and a mat out of Black Card using the next sized die in the set.

I cut 4 corners out of Black Card using Justrite A2 Card Front Basics dies.

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