Especially For You
Hello crafters! I pulled out the Aurora Flakes for today’s offering. I covered a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet. I peeled the backing off and sprinkled Golden Rose Aurora Flakes over the sticky sheet. I used a small piece of rub it scrub it pad to move the flakes around, then refine and remove the excess flakes. I used the largest cutting die from the Avery die set and cut an aperture in the centre. Next, I embossed the background with the Rose Bed embossing folder for texture. I added mounting foam to the back and added it over a piece of black card. I cut the Avery die in white and recessed it into the aperture. Using a piece of leftover flake card, I cut the Especially For You sentiment and three small flowers. I added a black shadow to the sentiment and glued it to the middle of the card, along with the three flowers. Using the Trellis Edger set, I cut two side borders out of black card and glued them to the edges of the card. I cut the double strip of pearls into two single strips and glued the to the side borders. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2” x 7 1/2” In size. All for now, Sue x
