Hello bloggers! I want to wish my dear friend Julia Watts a very Happy Birthday today, so I thought this would be an appropriate card for today's offering! I started with a piece of
coconut white card and used the
Elemental Swirl stamp and randomly stamped it using a
Clear Perfect Medium pad. I used
clear embossing powder and heated it to melt. Next I used the
Pearl Green Opal Polish over the top. You can see the swirls below as a resist. I cut the backing piece for the
Another Candle All In One image out of
Powdered Pink card. I cut the actual Cake die out of white card, then cut three small silver pieces to put behind the flowers before gluing it on to the backing piece. I paper pieced the words "put another" in silver. I added glue to the candle tips and sprinkled them with
Iced Snow. The card was completed with powder pink and white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteI don’t think there is anyone in the industry who creates sentiments like you. You bring phrases together to create focal points which adds so much interest to the card.
