You're the Best

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, 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 Justrite Painted Playful Trio Stamp Set. 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 re'inked' the stamp and then stamped it again on the oppsite 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 (back in stock! - other Gilding Flakes in stock here). I removed the excess using a piece of Rubit Scrubit.

 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 4 leaves from Sue Wilson's Autumn Leaf Trio Die Set (back in stock!) and dies #4 and #6 from Sue's Maldives Die Set.

I stamped the sentiment from Phill Martin's Butterfly Elegance 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 the Maldives set. I cut dies #3 and #4 together  and dies #5 and #6  together out of Coconut White Card.

I cut the corresponding open leaf die from the Autumn Leaf Trio Die Set out of Coconut White Card 4 times. I made a couple of flowers out of Coconut White Card using Sue's Cape Daisy Die Set. I cut the centre die out of my gilded background sheet twice. I added an 8mm White Pearl to each flower.


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