Best Wishes

Hi everyone!  This was one of my demo cards from the past weekend shows.  I started by stamping the Lace Vintage stamp by Justrite on coconut white card and heat embossing with white powder.  Once the entire background was done, I sponged Peacock feather distress ink all over the background.  The white embossed areas resisted the ink.  I added some Forest Moss distress ink to the centres of each stamped image to create depth.  I dried it thoroughly with a heat tool and dusted it with an anti-static pad to remove any moisture.  I then covered it with a sticky self adhesive sheet.  I peeled the backing paper off and covered the background with clear micro beads for texture.  I used the Delicate Doilies to die cut my focal element shapes.  I cut one of each of the solid and the lacy dies from each size in the set.  I inked the solid pieces. One with Peacock Feathers, one with Forest Moss and one with Tumbled Glass and glued the matching lacy piece on top.  I mounted them in a cluster, added a flatback pearl to the centres and stamped my sentiment on a strip that extends from them.  I added a messy bow tied from three colours of seam binding, green gem, turquoise and green zircon, topped with a small pearl embellishment.  A final double white pierced mat finished the card.  I hope you enjoyed the demo on this card if you were able to catch the shows last weekend.  Finished dimensions are 7" x 9" in size.  All for now, Sue x
