Special Wishes For A Special Person

Hi Bloggers.

I'm heading up to Wolverhampton this morning for a day demoing at Domino Crafts - 10am till 4pm if you're in the area.

Here's today's card -

I popped some CS Flake & Glitter Glue onto a piece of Wax Paper. I picked it up onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam and used it to ink up one of the stamps from the Stamps to Die For Autumn Leaf Bouquets. I stamped it onto Coconut White Card leaving the stamp on the card no more than 3 seconds so as not to tear the card. I continued  re-'inking' and stamping until I had completed a border down the left-hand side of my card. I cleaned my stamp under a cold tap and then went back to my stamped images. I added CS Autumn Leaves Gilding Flakes. I removed the excess using a piece of Rubit Scrubit.

I dusted my card in the bottom right-hand corner with an Anti-Static Bag and stamped the sentiment from Phill Martin's Butterfly Elegance Sentiments Stamp Set using Clear Perfect Medium. I added CS Gold Detail Embossing Powder and heat set.

I assembled the card as shown adding 3 x 5mm White Pearls, matting onto Black and Coconut White Card and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat

  18. I left you a comment on Spellbinders. Leaving a comment was difficult and confusing. Wish it had been easier to do so.

  19. Again you have proved that a simple design can be as effective or even more so that a complicated one. Lovely card.
