You Are A Great Friend

Hi bloggers!  I started today's card by creating a Caught In Crystal background.  You can use a number of different products for this technique and usually I use Pixie Powders, but I decided to try something different.  I used Pearl Tints this time and randonly applied them to the acetate.  I used Chateau Rose and Blue Diamond Pearl Tints.  I used my finger to spread them to cover the acetate then I scrunched up white tissue paper and covered it then tamped it down (a light spritzing of water helps too) and set it aside to dry overnight.  I trimmed the acetate once it was dry and I used the Twill Weave embossing folder to emboss the background.  I cut the Buttercup Floral Panel die three times in white  and I glued them horizontally side by side, aalternating their direction.  I cut the panels again in pink card and nipped the flowers out and glued them onto the white panels.  I added clear micro beads to the flower centres.  I used the You Are A Great Friend as the sentiment.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  7"  in size.  All for now, Sue x
