Just Wanted To Say Hello

Good Sunday morning to all!  Just a quick reminder that I am still demonstrating at Ally Pally all day today so the drawings for the card giveaway and the comment game will not be posted until tomorrow!  For today's card, I have a very unisex sort of card.  I started with a piece of sand card and stamped the background with a swirl stamp inked with clear perfect medium.  I dusted it with Angel Gold mica powder for a soft shimmer.  For the next layer, I used the Beaded Fanfare embossing folder and embossed a piece of taupe card.  I used the negative side of the embossing and rubbed it with Snow Cap Adirondack pigment ink to lighten all the raised areas for a faux letterpress effect.  Next I cut a thin frame out of the larger cutting dies of the Classic Adorned Squares and the Ornate Pierced Squares out of taupe card.  I used the Classic Adorned Square die again to create an aperture.  I glued my thin frame to it, then cut the slightly larger edge on the paper cutter, squaring the corners to match.  I used a darker shade of tan and cut the decorative inside area of the Classic Adorned square and recessed it into the frame.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it in a diamond orientation and added a taupe mat behind it.  I completed the card by adding a pierced milk mat, a thin taupe mat and a final milk mat.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  8" in size.  Hope to see you at Ally Pally today!  All for now,  Sue x
