Hello Friend

 Good morning everyone!  A pretty girlie card today which uses the Secret Garden background stamp (I did tell you to expect to see a lot of this stamp, didn't I!)  I began by stamping a piece of white card using a clear perfect medium pad and the same stamp as in my focal element.  I heat embossed it in white embossing powder for a tone on tone look.  Next, I selected a piece of teal card and our flake and glitter glue.  I used a piece of cut 'n dry foam to dab the flake and glitter glue all over my Secret Garden stamp.  Once coated, I stamped it quickly on to my teal card and set it aside.  I cleaned my stamp well by running it under the tap to rinse off the glue (this is a must!)  Once the glue stamped image had become tacky (a few minutes minimum) I sprinkled the Cosmic Shimmer Diamond Sprinkles over it for a bit of bling.  I matted it onto a piece of white card and wrapped some white seam binding around it and taped the ends to the back of the card.  I added some foam mounting on the back and adhered it in the centre of my white stamped background piece.  Next I used several of the Tim Holtz markers(Forest Moss, Broken China, Dusty Concord) direct to the rubber stamp flower from the Floral Thank you set by JustRite stamps.  Once covered, I lightly spritzed it with water and stamped it on white card.  I cut it out with the Just Rite Vintage Labels Three die and stamped the sentiment in Black Archival Ink over the top of the flower.  I cut a Fleur de Lis Square to seat it upon so the decorative edges were peeking out from underneath.  I added a messy bow with a teal Dazzler to the centre of it.  A final double pierced mat to complete the card.  Sweet and simple.  Finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size.  All for now,
 Sue x
