Belated Birthday Wishes

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

I've been using up some demo bits again on this card.

For the background, I spread some CS Clear Texture Paste through the Triangular Mask onto Coconut White Card. Leaving the mask in place, I sprinkled some CS Mica Powders over - I used Graceful Pink, Graceful Lilac and Graceful Mint. I removed the mask and put aside to dry.

Once dry, I made a frame out of Coconut White Card using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Squares and Double Pierced Squares Set B. I added it to my background using 3D Foam Tape and trimmed away the excess using scissors.

I stamped the Creative Expressions Garden Song Stamp onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I coloured in using Colour Clouds - I used Pretty In Pink, Lilac Whisper and Chic Moss. I cut out using the largest die in Sue's Bora Bora Die Set.

I coloured a piece of Coconut White Card with Pretty in Pink Colour Cloud using a Smoothie. I cut 3 sizes of Sue's Orange Blossom Complete Petals out of it twice. I cut the corresponding Orange Blossom Open Petals out of Coconut White Card. I added a little glue to the centres of the pink die cuts only and added the white open die cuts. I shaped them a little and made my flowers adding an 8mm White Pearl to the centres. I cut a pair of leaves out of Coconut White Card using Lace Edged Leaves.

I completed my card by adding a couple of Coconut White Card mats and an 8mm Pink Dazzler from the Pink Dazzler Collection to the corners of my frame.
