For You

Hi crafters!  It has been ages since I shared any samples with gilding flakes so I have brought out my Verdigris Gilding Flakes for today's sample!  I started by using the Verdegris flakes all over a piece of coconut white card coated with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I applied the gilding flakes and uses a piece of Rubit Scrubit to move and refine the gilding flakes.  Next I used the Double Stitched Rectangles die set to cut two frames and the centre section.  I glued a piece of acetate to the largest frame then added mounting foam to the back to raise the three pieces.  I embossed a piece of white card with the Ribbon Swirls folder and added the frames to it.    I used the For You shadowed sentiment cut in black and added to a white shadow and glued it into the centre of the card.  I used the Striped Nasturtiums and made two flowers using just the top outline die for the flowers.  I cut several of the Lace Edged Leaves and added them as accents.  The card was completed with white and black mats ans layers.  The finished dimensions are  6 1/2" x  7 3/4" in size.

To answer the question I asked of you, I have run into quite a few famous people in my travels including Paul McCartney, Ashton Kutcher, Paul Daniels, Duffy (the Welsh singer), Roger Daltry (from the Who), Fergie (from the Black Eye Peas), Chuck Connors (American actor from the Rifleman series)and Usain Bolt (fastest human alive).  All of them were lovely and welcoming!  I do have some good stories about the first three on the list, but it would take pages here to tell!  I will keep them for another time! LOL   All for now Sue x
