Hugs & Kisses

Hi crafters!  I started with the Stained Glass mask and taped it to a piece of white card.  I used Clear Texture Paste through the mask.  While the mask was still in place, I sprinkled Zesty Lime,Beyond Blue and Teal Marine Pixie Sparkles all over the mask.  I very lightly spritzed it with water to activate all the powder, then removed the mask.  I set it aside to dry overnight.  Once dry, I used the Noble Decorative Heart die to cut an aperture in the centre.  I added mounting foam to the back to raise it and attached it to another piece of card.  I recessed the heart fall away piece into the aperture.  I used the Double Stitched Squares and made a white frame to go around the background.  I cut the Hugs & Kisses sentiment in black and glued it inside the heart aperture.  Using some pixied card made with the same colours, I cut three flowers from the Heart Leaf Flower die set and assembled them and added them to the bottom edge of the frame.  I accented the flowers with some white leaves from the same set.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  7 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x

  3. Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, this is such a beautiful creation, the colours you have used to make the background is pure genius, as you know I am not a messy crafter but I am going to try this one.

    I was also so surprised to check the winners of this latest release only to find that I have one the Ric Rac Ribbon Background, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this and look forward to having a play. email has gone off this morning.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

  16. Hi Sue
    Happy Friday everyone x
    It is such a grey dreary morning here so this card is a breath of bright and beautiful fresh air. Those colours are just gorgeous x
    I love the texture paste/Pixied technique and it’s been a while but I have tried this and it always looks so pretty. The recessed heart is the perfect touch to this beauty x
    Sending you all happy thoughts x

    Love the concept but sorry again as not sure on the colour especially as green is my favourite...(I must be a traditionalist when it comes to hearts lol), but I would change the colour so the idea is fab....
