You Make Me Smile

Hi crafters!  I started this one with a look into my background stash and pulled out a Pixie powdered background.  I used Midnight Blue, Lava Red and Emerald Green Pixie Powders to create this background.  Next, I cut the Plumage Background twice out of white card.  I nipped around the edge so just the feathery sort of look was exposed and attached it to the background with foam.  On the other one, I nipped further into the design, this time I left more of a smaller circle design and layered it up in the middle with foam.  I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with a circle die.  I inked around the edge with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink and added it to the middle with foam.  I stamped several Cosmos Flower stamps in black and cut them out with the matching dies.  I used Salty Ocean on the ends of the petals to add some colour before assembling them.  I added the flowers in opposite corners with white leaves as accents.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  7" in size.  All for now, Sue x
