Hi there my crafty friends! For today's card, I made a piece of "caught in crystal" for the background using Blue, Green and Red Quartz crystal tints on to acetate. I added some scrunched up white tissue paper to the back and allowed it to dry. I cut the Dotty Scallop Celebration Background in white and glued it over the top. I used the Double Stitched Squares to add a multi layered white frame over the top and added it with mounting foam. I cut a white Double Stitched Rectangle and a slightly larger black one and added it to the centre with foam. I used the Hip Hip Hooray sentiment cut out of Cobalt blue and added a black shadow behind it then glued it to the white rectangle. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x
