Many Thanks

Good Sunday morning all!  I pulled out my Aurora Flakes for today's card.  I started by covering a piece of card with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled the backing off and coated it with Golden Rose Aurora Flakes and used a piece of rubit scrubit pad to refine and remove the excess flakes.  Next, I used the Double Stitched Rectangle dies set to cut a frame.  I used the Paulette Edger set to cut two outer borders and the middle section out of the Aurora flakes.  I also cut the Many Thanks and five small flowers from the Blossom Patch set.  I cut the Paulette die out of white card.  I glued the three edgers on top of the coordinating areas.  I covered another piece of white card with an adhesive sheet, then coated it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  I added the Paulette die cut with foam over the top of the glittered background.  Mounting foam was added to the back of the frame and then attached over the background.  Using the Double Stitched Ovals, I made a small frame.  I added it with foam over another piece of white card, then added it to the centre of the card.  I glued the sentiment in the middle of the frame and added the flowers around the edge.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  7 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue what a fantastic colour I need those Aura flakes, sometimes photos don't do justice to something as pretty and the sparkle and sheen is missed but they stand out beautifully. I think my little craft shop has had to close due to the pandemic, it was a hobby turned into a shop and as we drove by yesterday (explanation to later post on yesterday's blog) the shutters are still down and I'm really sad, as she was my help my friends, my way to Creative Expressions the report would remind her to ring during a visit to see if I needed anything, a loss that is really sad to her customers. I just love waking up to beauty and friends so you can imagine how I missed popping in early but it was a whirlwind that was more special than anything at the moment or it would be if my daughter realized that breaking my shielding was important to me for her (nurses are difficult daughters at times) lol STAY SAFE EVERYONE YOU'RE VERY PRECIOUS xxx 💖

Morning Sue, those Aurora flakes are beautiful and make a lovely border. Funnily enough I had my gilding flakes out yesterday and ended up with them everywhere.
Have a great day. Hugs xxx Pauline

Good Morning Sue. What a lovely start to this awful morning.. And I love the rose gold flakes. A beautiful card today.Thankyou Sue.
A sad morning for us today. We are saying our last goodbyes to my lovely brother by scattering his ashes at my Mum and Dads grave. This was his wish. Because of the Covid it had to be delayed as gatherings were not allowed. Now some of the rules have changed and today was chosen as the day. I miss him very much.
Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them this morning.Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
PLEASE STAY SAFE EVERYONE 🙏 🙏 🙏

Hi Sue, a lovely card and the Golden Rose Aurora Flakes are beautiful. I have neither these flakes or the Paulette dies but I would like to try something similar with Martha and the flakes that I do have.

A lovely card using the aurora flakes as highlights to your design. I have some aurora backgrounds done so will be trying that, thank you. I am now going back on your previous posts to see what I’ve missed.
