Believe in the Magic

Hi Bloggers.

My Dad's tests went well yesterday and he needs to have another check up in 6 months time. Good news.

Here's today's card -

I started by spreading some Phill Martin CS Decadent Denim Sparkle Texture Paste through the Christmas Quilt Mask onto a piece of Acetate. I put it aside to dry (a couple of hours).

I made a frame out of Coconut White Card using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Squares and Double Pierced Squares Set B. I added 3D Foam to my frame and then added it to my background (once dry). I trimmed away the excess acetate then added more 3D Foam to the back around the frame (making sure there were no gaps in the foam).

I popped some Snow White Micro Beads into the centre of a mat of Coconut White Card and then added my frame.

I stamped the 2 sizes of veins from the Justrite Multi-Step Poinsettia Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card several times using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Denim Brilliant Sparkle Embossing Powder. I cut them out using Justrite Multi-Step Poinsettia Dies and added some Snow White Micro Beads to the centres using CS Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Mini Tags Clear Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Cobalt Archival. I cut it out using a die from the Justrite Snowflake Mini Tags Die Set. I tucked the tag behind a poinsettia securing with CS Glue.

I assembled the card as shown adding another mat of Coconut White Card, some Blue Dazzlers to the corners of my frame and some 5mm White Pearls onto the centres of the Texture Paste Snowflakes.

  28. So pleased that your dad's tests were OK. Elderly parents are increasingly a worry aren't they?

    On a more cheerful not than that last point: this a lovely card. I especially like this mask and because it can be cut up along set lines it is a particularly useful one. Love the flowers.
