Best Wishes

 Hello crafters!  Another technique sort of background on today's card.  Start by embossing a piece of wax paper in the Bed of Roses embossing folder.  Next, you need to place the embossed wax paper between a couple of pieces of white gloss card.  It has to be gloss for the best results and the glossy sides need to be touching the wax paper.  Next iron the card for a few minutes which will melt the embossed pattern from the wax paper onto the gloss card.  Usually there is one side that will come out a bit better than the other, but they can both be used for further projects.  Ink over the card when it cools and watch the pattern appear.  I thought it would be interesting to take it a step further so I covered it with a piece of sticky adhesive sheet after I dried the ink thoroughly.  Then I micro beaded it for additional texture.  I cut a multi- layered frame using both sets of the Double Pierced Rectangle Noble dies and adhered it over the background.  I made a pretty flower from the Perfect Peony set and inked the edges to match the background using Decadent Denim Colour Cloud ink.  I stamped a sentiment and cut it out with the Pierced Flags, then seated the flower on the end and embellished it with leaves and two Splendid Swirls cut out of milk card.  I added two glittered butterflies cut from the Delicate Garden Frame die set.  I completed the card with my usual pierced mat, a blue mat and a final milk coloured mat.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x
