Hello there bloggers! A lighter, brighter card for today, and just in case the colours don't show up true, this one is lavender and white with a bit of black as an accent. I decided on a lavender background behind my lattice, but first I wanted to micro bead it so I applied my sticky adhesive sheet to my lavender card. I peeled the backing paper off and carefully laid my white lattice background on top. Making sure that I had the shiny side of my backing paper against the lattice, I used it to press the lattice down to make sure that it made contact with the sticky sheet everywhere. If you put the matte side towards your sticky sheet, it will adhere so be careful not to do that. Once I was satisfied that it was completely stuck, I poured my micro beads over the top of the piece. I cut my flowers out of several shades of purple and stacked them for a whimsical looking flower. I added a few of the flourishes and two stick pins to complete my corner focal element. I stamped my sentiment on white card and added a light inking of dusty concord. I cut one of the small fancy framed tags in white and mounted it over my sentiment with foam pieces. I trimmed the sentiment to the edge of the tag and added it to the upper corner. I cut a small lavender butterfly from the set to rest on the edge of the tag. I pierced the edges in my usual style to complete the card. A lovely whimsical card for any occasion. All for now, Sue x
