Best Wishes

Hello there my crafty friends!  It's all about the gilding flakes for today's card!  If you have never used them before, do not be afraid!  They are so easy to use (a bit messy, but not too bad!).  I covered a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet.  Next I cut two of the New Zealand Noble borders out of white card.  I peeled the backing paper off the sticky adhesive sheet and paid down both of the borders facing each other and allowing a small edge of sticky paper behind both straight edges of the dies.  Next I added the Sunlight Speckle gilding flakes and used a piece of a Rubit Scrubit pad to move them into the remaining exposed sticky sheet areas.  I used the pad further to refine the flakes and remove the excess bits.  Next I used the outer cutting die in the Maggie set to cut a shape into the centre.  I added mounting cushion to the aperture to raise it for dimension.  I recessed the Maggie die cut piece back into the card after mounting the aperture onto a separate piece of white card.  The pattern from the borders was continued, but with the added dimensional aspects to it.  I stamped a sentiment from the Petite Lavish Sentiments set by Creative Expressions and cut it out with the centre of the New Zealand tag.  I cut a full tag to seat the sentiment on and added it to the centre of the Maggie aperture.  I finished the card with my usual pierced mats and layers and some flatback pearls as accents.  I hope you like it!  The finished dimensions are 7" x  9 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
