Twinkly Background Card

 Hi crafters!  It's so sparkly, isn't it?!  I really had to resist the urge to add anything to it, as I felt it really needed a white and silver poinsettia on it.  However, I really wanted to show off this background from the show so I was good and didn't do anything more to it!  I started with the Retro Sparkle background stamp from Justrite and stamped it on to our Cobalt Blue card using a clear Perfect Medium.  I heat embossed it with Silver Shine embossing powder, then covered the entire piece with a sticky double sided adhesive sheet.  I then covered the entire piece with Iced Snow and burnished it into the background, creating a really twinkly background for my card.  Next, on coconut white card,  I stamped the Vintage Labels Seven shapes from the set which is called Snowflake Vintage Label Seven by Justrite and embossed them with silver shine as well.  I cut them out with the matching die and used Chipped Sapphire distress ink while still in the die.  On the smaller die cut, I stamped my sentiment in the centre using the Cobalt Blue Archival ink pad.  I mounted the two die cuts up with foam in between and on the back and added them to the centre of my background.  You do, however, need to add some Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue to the foam on the back before attaching it to the Iced Snow since it is a sort of glitter product the foam does not want to stick without glue!  I used my piercing ruler to add a pierced framed layer of coconut white card, then added a thin blue mat and a final white mat to complete my card.  The finished dimensions are 6" x 7" in size.

   I am going to give you a sneak peek at a few of the samples for Sunday's Toolshed show so be sure to check back tomorrow and Sunday morning for those!  All for now, Sue x
