Oyster Shell Background



Hello bloggers!  I have another technique to share with you today which uses the Cosmic Shimmer PVA glues.  They make a really unique background for your creations and the video shows that they are not just for use to make glue dots around the edge of your cards!

The winner of this weeks Wednesday Card Giveaway card is:

Anne Mather!!!
Congratulations!  Please email me at americansue1@gmail.com to confirm your address and claim your card.









 The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x  8 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

  19. Beautiful background I am going to have to give this a go.
    I thought that I could see a image of a car in the top right hand corner, although it isn't it is just the way that you have spread the glue around.

    This technique looks so much fun to do and I love how each one will look different (same as the shaving foam technique). I enjoyed the video you always break it down into easy steps for us to do. We all appreciate all your hard work so thank you for that. Your card is gorgeous

  98. Oh Sue. What have you done ? I have your paper pad in front of me and even though you have given us multiple's of the same designs, do you really expect us to put scissors to them, add texture to them or even add sparkles to them, I certainly can't let strangers from the farmers market have the enjoyment out of my papers that would be criminal lol. Think my afternoon will be spent stroking these adorable delicate papers and not crafting with them as I first thought I may !! Nope, can't part with them lol all mine 😊 xx

  106. Happy Saturday lovely Sue and her crafty crew!

    I love video days more than anything...being not the best with written instructions.....and today's card certainly lives up to my expectations. I really appreciate it when you demonstrate new techniques for us to try, I have so many coloured cosmic shimmers and this will be a great alternative to just creating pearls with them.
    A gorgeous card, I am so glad I bought the cathedral die it is going to prove to be a canny purchase I think. I'm loving the colour palette too, the soft blush is stunning mixed with the pastel shades. Thanks for yet more stunning inspiration to get our teeth into.
    I'm having a crazy busy day today so it's just a flying visit. Had a mountain of ironing and a caci facial to occupy most of the day so I'm looking forward to putting my feet up later with the video demo and a nice cold can of coke.
    Thanks for the concern about Darcey, she had a good night so my worries about an infection were unfounded....we both have lost the bags under our eyes as a result of a proper nights sleep:-)
    Huge birthday hugs to Tracy, hope you enjoy your dayxxx
    Congrats to Anne on your fab winxxx
    Hugs to all my buddies, you know who you are my friendsxxxx

  112. Hi Sue

    Such a lovely card with a very pretty background. There can never be to many flowers (or butterflies) as far as I'm concerned! Will watch later.

    The card you sent is so much prettier in real life, I need those stamps and dies! It has been a high point this week to receive that in the post, thank you x

    I'm sorry everyone, no time to read back as my best friend will be here soon, I haven't seen her since November. I had a sleep earlier and over slept so have less time than I planned!

    Happy birthday Tracy! I hope you feel up to celebrating and hope you're being thoroughly spoilt. Have a lovely day and sending special birthday hugs xxxxxx

    Steph, I have too many paper pads I want to just look at and stroke, guess I need to make space for another! Hugs xxx

    Alison, hope Scamp is doing well, give her a cuddle from me, hugs xxx

    Tina E, all of you are in my thoughts XXX

    Lynda, big bouncy doggy cuddles from Billy to you and your furry and feathered friends, hugs xxx

    Special hugs to those of you feeling ill, fatigued or poorly with the seasons endless rounds of colds and bugs xxx

    I will read back through later if I get the chance x

    The only thing of note to report is I've finally had the new castors and tyres on my chair yesterday, happy... Oh yes! Gave back the horrid loan chair with a big smile on my face! Apart from that it's been more of the usual- migraines, sleep and having to limit time looking at a screen.

    Well I must off, don't really want to be in my PJ's when my Friend arrives! Big hugs to all of you with many extra hugs to those who needs one. Take care all of you and enjoy your weekend,

    Hugs, T x

    First of all sorry I have been missing but We have been on holiday and only got home this afternoon!
    I have missed some really beautiful cards and have just pinned them all! Today's is intriguing me and I shall sit down and watch the video later. It will be lovely to have another use for the glues! I love your new papers and feel an order coming on , most definitely!
    I like the idea of having subtly patterned papers to match your lovely CE card.
    Tracy - I gather it's your Birthday! I hope you have a lovely one and that you feel well enough to enjoy it!
    Tina E - my thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire family at this very sad time. Sending hugs!
    Hope you have all been good! I suspect not, however, as some of you I actually know!!
    Love to all, especially you Sue,

  127. Hi Sue

    I'm back after another absence. I recently went on holiday, but unfortunately we were both poorly. Home now but still unwell. There have been some lovely cards. I like today's it's really classy, but I really loved yesterday's and the colour and elegance of it. I can't wait to see your new paper pads in real life. They look great. Have missed lots of comments and postings but hope to catch up soon.

    Happy Birthday Tracy.

    Love Helen xxx

  135. Hi Sue. WOW !!! Your card today is absolutely gorgeous and I love your fab video. Your Oyster technique looks great !!! Definitely one to try. I really love your Cathedral background die. It is high on my wish list along with the New Zeland Collection. Although really, I love all your dies !!! You have just reminded me that I have not used coconut white and blush card for ages and how much i love it. Now I need to go and make a card with them !!! I have added your beautiful new paper pad to my wish list to after yesterday's beautiful card !!! (Sorry but illness has got the better of me the last few days.) Thank you for some fab cards and videos though. All beautiful as usual. I really love the card using the Ornate Octagons and the Indus Gemini die down either side. I think it is very pretty. I would love to make my own version of this one as I have the dies needed !!! Thank you very much Sue for sharing your gorgeous card and video today.
