Peace On Earth
Hello bloggers! I pulled out the gilding flakes for today's card. I covered a piece of card with a sticky adhesive sheet. I peeled the backing paper off and sprinkled on some Copper Teal Gilding Flakes. I used a piece of Rubit Scrubit pad to move the flakes around the card, then to refine and remove the excess flakes. I matted the piece with some gold mirror card then added it to a piece of milk card. I used the Poinsettia Banner die and cut it out of milk card. I added the poinsettia cut out of gold mirror card to the underneath side of the die. I cut the scrolls out of antique gold card and glued both of them to the die cut. I stamped the Peace On Earth sentiment in black and cut it out with the banner die from the set and glued it behind the banner in the die cut. I attached the piece to the centre of the card with mounting foam. The card was completed with milk mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Good Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a beautiful sample today, the various colours in the background are a stunning backdrop for the banner, another gorgeous creation.
Hi Sue. I have just been making some cards using this die set and am beginning to run out of ideas so I am so pleased you have posted this today which has given me a new idea. Love the colourway of cream and gold as it is so classy.
Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning. A lovely class is Christmas card this morning. Love the guilding flakes ... Not seen those for a while. On the to do list. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds. Please stay safe and well 🙏.
Oh WOW! What a dazzling background. I love (and hate) gilding flakes but an entire background done in flakes is beautiful. This is a card I'd have to keep. Hope everyone is having a great weekend, Stephanie K
