Thanks

Good Sunday morning all!  It's a blingey one today!  I selected a piece of deep raspberry card (from my stash) and used the Lyra die on the diagonal to cut the edge.  I used only one of the cutting edges to do this.  Next I cut a piece of black card and covered a bit more than half of it with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled back the backing paper and attached the raspberry card to it and everywhere else the exposed adhesive was, I coated with Ebony Ice.  I burnished it in well with my finger and poured the excess back into the container (note: it is very static so you may want to rub down a piece of copy paper with an anti static before using it to catch the excess bits).  For the focal element, I cut the Union square die out of black card.  I nipped it into half with my paper cutter, put the two sides together and took off a bit in the centre to create a smaller die.  I taped them back together from the back and added mounting foam to the back.  I adhered it in the upper corner.  I stamped my sentiment, then cut it out with the smaller die in the Dainty Oval Frame set.  I seated it in the centre then added small pearls in the corners as embellishments.  I finished the card with a white pierced mat, a thin raspberry and a thin black mat and a final wider white mat layer.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x  8 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
