Mica and Ice



Hi Bloggers.

Here’s today’s card –

For the background, I cut the large decorative die from the Justrite A2 Butterfly Garden Frame Dies out of Coconut White Card. I added a piece of Creative Expressions Double Sided Self Adhesive Sheet to the front. I turned it over and added Phill Martin CS Chic Aubergine and Chic Moss Mica Powders. I removed as much of the excess Mica Powder as possible and then glued a piece of copy paper over it to make doubly sure that no mica powder would contaminate my glitter jewels.
I turned my background over, removed the other backing sheet and then added CS Iced Snow Glitter Jewels. I cut my background out using the largest die in the same set.

I stamped the image from the Justrite Meadow Circles StampSet onto Coconut White Card using CS Lilac Whisper Colour Cloud using a Smoothie. I cut it out using a die from the Justrite Stitched A2 Banners andRectangles Die Set. I cut a mat out of Black Card using the circle die from the Justrite A2 Butterfly Garden Frame Dies. 

I assembled the card as shown adding some 5mm White Pearls and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat

  25. I haven't tried this technique I must have a go Saying that I found a piece when I was clearing up where I'd stamped or printed on acetate and stuck that to a piece of adhesive sheet and covered that in mica Never got used because I managed to get air bubbles when putting the sticky sheet on So it's going in my "Technique" folder Will definitely have a go with die cut backgrounds
