I Love You!

Hi Bloggers.

Hope you enjoyed the One Day Special shows. I'm now prepping for another one on December 22nd! Absolutely no time for any Christmas shopping this year!

Here's today's card -

For the background, I used a piece of Heat Emboss Acetate. I added CS Glue, spritzed it with a little water to loosen it up and then used my finger to spread it all over the acetate. I sprinkled CS Teal Wash and Purple Violet Pixie Powders over then misted with a little more water. I sprinkled CS Frosty Dawn Diamond Frost over. I scrunched up a piece of White Tissue Paper, opened it out and added it to my background. I patted it down using a piece of Kitchen Roll and put it aside to dry (4 - 5 hours depending on temperature).

Meanwhile, I cut the inner die only from Sue Wilson's Jubilee Petite Striplet into a piece of Coconut White Card 5 times. I glued it to my background once it was dry.

I made a frame out of Coconut White Card using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Rectangles and Double Pierced Rectangles Set B. I added it to my background using 3D Foam Tape.

I misted a piece of Watercolour Card with water and sprinkled over the same 2 Pixie Powders that I used for my acetate background (Teal Wash and Purple Violet). I put aside to dry.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite For All You Do Vintage Labels Three Stamp Set using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Silver Shine Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using die #1 from Sue's St. Lucia Die Set. I cut dies #2 and #3 together out of Coconut White Card. I cut die #4 out of my Watercolour Card Pixie background.

I cut the 2 largest complete flowers from Sue's Striped Nastutium Die Set out of my Watercolour Card Pixie Background twice. I cut the corresponding open flowers from the same die set out of Coconut White Card twice. I made my flowers and added a Small Circle Dazzler to the centres. I cut a couple of leaves from Sue's Trailing Ivy Die Set out of Coconut White Card.

A couple of Coconut White Card mats and some more Small Circle Dazzlers on the corners of my frame completed my card.

Thanks for stopping by.
