Good Sunday morning! Many of you know that I am away at the Ally Pally show this weekend so I have had to schedule this post much earlier in the week. The Sunday comment game winners will be a bit delayed this week because of it. I will do the drawings when I return on Monday and post it at the bottom of Tuesday mornings post for you so don't forget to check! Today's card is one from the
Let Your Soul Sing set by Justrite. I used the
Flake and Glitter glue and covered my branch stamp with it and stamped it on to
milk coloured card a couple of times. I stamped a few butterflies from the set and a bird too. I cleaned my stamp well by running it under the tap. You don't want this glue to dry on your stamps. Next I covered my stamped images with
Summer Meadow Gilding Flakes and used a small piece of
Rubit Scrubit pad to refine them. You just need to rub lightly in a circular fashion and the flakes will adhere and the pad will remove the excess. I then covered it with a piece of
sticky self adhesive sheet and added
micro beads over it. I love how the
gilding flakes still show through so nicely but you get the added bonus of the texture of the
clear micro beads. I added my bird and butterflies with small glue dots for dimension. I matted the entire piece on some
soft gold card and then proceeded to make an embossed background for it. I embossed a piece of
milk card with my
Sea Garden embossing folder. I matted it on
soft gold card as well. I stamped my sentiment (from
Get Well Labels 20 set) and embossed it with
gold powder. I cut it out with
Vintage Labels four dies and made a
soft gold mat with the larger oval from the set. I mounted this in the corner of my beaded piece. I added a bow tied from
champagne coloured silky crush ribbon and a
natural jute bow beneath it. I finished the bow with the
flatback antique gold buttons that will be in stock very soon (they sent me samples and I have been using them everywhere as they are gorgeous!) I added three large flatback pearls to the background as embellishments. Finally, a double milk mat finished the card and I added
Pearl PVA glue dots around the edge. Finished dimensions are 8" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x

Saw you demo this, Sue, and thought it looked lovely. Would like those stamps but hey I'm STILL not a stamper(apart from sentiments and the odd bits of background embossing), perhaps should try some focal stuff! The inspiration is there.

This is such a pretty and delicate card I just Love it! Somehow I wouldn't have thought of using gilding flakes on such a fine stamp and then micro beading it but it really works!

Good morning Sue,
I do think this is a beautiful card, so right for this time of the year with a different sentiment attached. it is like an autumn (fall) day with the leaves turning brown and just a few left on the tree. The bird standing out on the nearly bare tree as it goes into hibernation to renew in the spring.
Simply beautiful, thank you Sue.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah

I bet this is great 'in the flesh' with all that texture!
Another great way to use this lovely stamp set! The focal piece sits beautifully on the Sea Garden background and I love that the gilding flakes don't lose any of their impact when clothed with micro beads. Hope you enjoy the rest of Ally Pally.
Sue
ps loved yesterday's 'guy card' too! I can really use that sort of inspiration.
