Thanks For Everything

Morning crafters!  A bit of a peachy one for today. Although peach isn't a colour that I use very often, I always really like it when it is finished.  The milk card looks a bit vintage with it as well.   I started by doing some faux leterpressing on my background.  I used the Peach Bellini Adirondack pigment ink to ink up my Rambling Blossoms embossing folder.  I used  a piece of milk card for the background and letterpressed it through the Grand Calibur, transferring the ink to the floor of the embossed design.  I cut the Kefalonia die out of milk card using both the inside and outside cutting edge to create a frame.  I inked it with the same Peach Bellini pigment ink before removing it from the die.  I added it to the centre of my background with mounting foam.  I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with the Caribbean Island tag.  Inked the edges of it as well before removing it from the die.  Using the Complete petal Camellia, I made six flowers of varying sizes out of milk card.  I inked the edges of all of them with Peach Bellini ink to tone them to the card.  I arranged them on either side of my sentiment as embellishments.  Finally, the card was finished with my Paved Pearl technique using Ivory PVA glue dots all the way around a wide border.  There is a tutorial for this technique at the top of the blog.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  7" in size.  All for now, Sue x
