To Be Your Sister

 Hi all!  I started this one with the large polka dot mask and embossed the pattern  onto coconut white card.  For the bottom of the card, I used the Scalloped Borders Two die and one of the inserts with two cutting edges and cut a border from white card.  I glued it into place in an inverted style on to spearmint coloured card.  I cut the top edge to match with one of the edges and used another cutting edge below the white border, but only embossed it rather than cutting it.  I used a score board and added some vertical line embossing to the bottom of the piece.  I glued it into place along the bottom of my white embossed top piece.  Next I stamped the Lace Oval Frame from Justrite stamps using a clear perfect medium pad onto coconut white card.  I heat embossed it with white powder and cut it into a frame using the Grand Oval dies.  While still in the die, I inked it with Peacock Feathers distress ink.  The embossed image resisted the ink and showed off the white embossing.  I added mounting foam to the back to raise it for dimension.  Next I stamped my sentiment from the Mix and Match Sentiments from Justrite using a black archival ink pad.  I covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet , cut it into an oval so it fit my frame and covered it with clear micro beads.  I tucked the bottom of the sentiment under the edge of my border, then attached my frame over it so a portion of the border showed below the beaded sentiment area.  I added a double bow tied from white frilly edged ribbon and a pearl embellishment for the centre.  I finished the card with flatback pearls around the inside of  the frame and the upper corners of the card.  I finished with a double white pierced mat to complete the card.  Finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size.  All for now, Sue x
