Because

Hi crafters!   I thought I would share another of the Big Bold Word samples today.  I started by cutting the Because die out of black card and gluing it to a piece of clear acetate.  Working from the back side of the acetate, I used Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue and filled in the letters one at a time, then sprinkled on Polish Silk Glitter and tapped it off.   Where the letters overlap in the die, I mixed a little bit of each of the colours of glitter used n both letters and added it to those areas.  You need to start with the darkest colour of glitter first and work your way to the lightest colour.  That way if the glitter gets on the back of another colour, it won't change the look of it.  Once you have filled in all the letters, set it aside to dry.  All of the white glue will turn clear and you will see the colours when it is completely dry.  I made a multi-layered white frame out of the Double Stitched Rectangles and added it with mounting foam over the acetate.  I used a little bit of mounting foam behind the letters to help keep them from sagging and added a piece of white card behind them.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.    The finished dimensions are       6 1/2"  x  7 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x
