Just Because
Hi bloggers! I selected a piece of deep blue background made by using Midnight Blue Pixie Powders on a piece of White Gloss card. I covered it with a piece of ling film and scrunched it to create interesting patterns when it dried I cut two of the Jewelled Scalloped Border in white. I nipped away the lattice portion of the die and glued the rest of the border to each side of the background. I cut the Floral Rectangle in white and added sky blue flowers to it. I cut the Shadow die in white and backed the frame with it. I cut the Just Because Block Sentiment in white and then cut just the sentiment portion out of a leftover bit of the caught in crystal background. I paper pieced the sentiment into the white block sentiment piece, then matted it in white and attached it to the frame. I used White PVA glue and added some dots to the frame as accents. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 9 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue.
ReplyDeleteWhat a luxurious background colour, it's amazing. Personally, I think on this one occasion I'd replicate this inspiration but not use the border only because it takes the eye away from the floral rectangle and its so stunning, a star in its own right.
All my PVA glue drops have dried up, every single on mind you I've had them for years, at least 8 so if they don't dry up that's how long they would have lasted and I've made a good few hundred cards since they were bought to our attention.
Another week, another beauty. Sending warm hugs all round (gonna need em) xxx

ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh my goodness the blue background on this is utterly amazing - I can never get this right, I must ask Jamie if he will show how this is done on a video. The card is gorgeous, especially in the close up shots where you can see the white glue hardened to be like pearls. yes I like very much indeed.

Hi Sue, I love all the individual elements on this card and the gorgeous rich colour of the Midnight Blue Pixied background but for me it is just a little too busy, sorry.
