Thank You

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I embossed a piece of Coconut White Card using the Creative Expressions Eternal Ivy Embossing Folder. I edged the background with CS Autumn Twinkles and put aside to dry.

For the panels, 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 the Justrite Autumn Swirls Background (managed to get a couple more!). 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 cleaned my stamp under a cold tap and then went back to my stamped background. I added CS Autumn Leaves Gilding Flakes (back in stock!). I removed the excess using a piece of Rubit Scrubit. I trimmed the background into 3 panels and matted them onto Black Card. I edged around the panels with CS Autumn Twinkles and put aside to dry.

I stamped the sentiment from Phill Martin's Scribbled Frame Sentiments Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Gold Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using die #2 from Sue Wilson's Maldives Die Set. Once again, I edged with CS Autumn Twinkles and put aside to dry. I cut dies #3 and #4 together out of Black Card and die #4 only out of Coconut White Card.

I popped a piece of Creative Expressions Double Sided Self Adhesive Sheet onto a piece of Coconut White Card. I removed the other backing sheet and then added Autumn Leaves Gilding Flakes. Once again, I removed the excess using Rubit Scrubit. I cut 2 leaves from Sue Wilson's Autumn Leaf Trio Die Set (back in stock). I cut the corresponding open leaves from the same set out of Black Card.

I made a flower out of Coconut White Card using Sue's Cape Daisy Die Set and added CS Autumn Twinkles to the centre.

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