Strength Circle

Hi bloggers!  Today's card features another one of the new Matt Chalk Polish colours.  This time I have used the Purple Dusk, it is part of the new vintage colour collection just released.  I coated a piece of card with it and allowed it to dry.  Next I embossed it with the Moroccan Tile 3D embossing folder.  Using the Double Stitched Squares, I made a wide frame cut from white card.  I added it with mounting foam over the embossed background.  I cut two of the Star Flower Cluster in white.  I used a bit of leftover polished card and cut the flowers out of it to match both of the corner sprays.  I glued them behind the die and added black centres and pearls.  I mounted the floral sprays in opposite corners.  I cut the Strength Circle in white and black card.  I used the black as an offset shadow behind, then glued it to the centre of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and I used the Purple Dusk Matt Chalk Polish around the edge of another mat as well.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  7 3/4"  in size.  All for now. Sue x

Thanks to you giving us the strength to live through the past year, and not only are we all still logging on every day, we've even seen a couple of new names so as far as us as a group is concerned - we've done it 😷💖 xx
