Thank You

Hello all!  I have been hotting the Ultra Sparkle Texture paste for this one!  I started with a piece of pale green card (from my stash) and used the Sea Green Ultra Sparkle Texture paste through the Stained Glass mask.  I allowed it to dry well, then added a multi layered white frame using the Double Pierced Noble Squares over it.  For the focal element, I cut the Bella die twice out of white, cutting the centres out.  I layered them up, offsetting the design and added it to the centre of the frame.  I cut a Pierced Flag out of white and used it across the stacked dies to seat my Thank You Mini Expression cut out of pale green card.  I accented the left side of the flag die with a single Passion Flower  which I glittered with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz and several leaves.  Pale Green and white mats and layers were added to finish the card.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x

    Hi Sue
    A lovely card. I’m not a great fan of green but the sparkle of the texture paste really sells it.

    Although I don't use green a lot I do love it on a card it's such a clean crisp colour. You can certainly see the bling on the photos taken on an angle it's beautiful!

    I love Bella doubled and offset. I love green. I love the Passion Flower. Texture paste might be nice but I've invested in Glitter Kiss and Gilding Polish. Peetty card!

    Have yourself a lovely Friday and an excellent weekend.

    Best,

    Hi Sue,

    Well, you're certainly giving us some very interesting backgrounds lately and I don't think I've ever seen you use this soft sage green before - it works beautifully with the Sea Green texture paste and again your crisp, neat framing sets it all off perfectly...

    Hi Sue, a beautiful card and I do love green. The Sea Green Texture paste is gorgeous and very rich looking. Bella sits perfectly around the centre circle and with the framing it looks like a tile that you might have found around a Victorian fireplace.

    Really pretty background but as I've just received my Glitter kiss, gilding flakes and beautiful holographic glitters; the texture paste will have to go on the end of my 'impending' list.
    Lovely card though. Enjoyyour weekend everyone. Hugs xx Pauline

    Hi Sue. Well, you couldn't be had under the Trades Description Act for calling this ultra sparkle texture paste because it most certainly is, you can even see it in the photos. Just my thing as I can never have too much sparkle. Great card too.
