Silver Congratulations

 Hello bloggers!  A silver and white over sized card today.  I started with a piece of kraft card and coated it with the new brushed pewter distress stain fro Tim Holtz.  I love this stuff, you can do so much with it.  I wanted a silver background, but did not have any silver card so I did the next best thing and made my own.  The kraft card gives it a unique brushed metal look to it too.  Next I cut four of the Botanical Swirls and accents corner in white card.  I glued them to the silver background to create a long thin shaped card.  I stamped my sentiment on white card and embossed it with silver powder.  I cut this into a long strip of card, matted it with a strip of silver left from my background and cut forks into the ends.  Next I made a large flower using Blossoms Five.  You can check out the tutorial on this at the top of my home page.  I made two white flowers following the tutorial on the Creative expressions website (I can't figure out how to put this tutorial on my site as of yet!)  On the white flowers, I used some Cosmic Shimmer clear drying glue and sprinkled the Rock candy dry glitter all over them.  I added a few sprigs from the Foliage set and pierced around the edges to finish it off.  I think this would make a lovely wedding or anniversary card.  Where are those sentiments when I need them!  Finished dimensions are 5 1/2" x     9 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
