The Can Can Card

Good morning all!  As Nigel has dubbed this my Parisian Can Can Card, I guess I will stick with that name.  I was going for a kind of petticoat effect here using the parisian border dies from Spellbinders.   I cut out eight of them in varying shades of gray and yellow to match my card.  You know how much I just love that colour combo!  Just by lining them up in alternating colours, you get this sort of petticoat effect for the bottom of the card.  Too much fun, I think!  I used the fretwork mask to emboss the background piece, but you may have to click on the card to enlarge it and see it well. I cut out the Fleur de lis die and then cut it in half so that I could mount it to the top and bottom of the background.  I then layered up my beaded square on top in the diamond orientation which hid the cut area.  I cut out a labels twenty die for my sentiment and two ''holder'' pieces from the fleur de lis collection.  The lovely new silver PVA glue from Cosmic Shimmer was used to make dots and frame the card to draw the eye into it.  I know that I use this glue a lot, but if you haven't tried it yet, it is amazing stuff.  It is also so easy to use, keeps its shape and dries very hard.  It's a real fun way to finish your card edges.  Don't forget about your edges, I always say!  Hope you are inspired by yet another yellow and gray creation of mine.  All for now, Sue x
