Just Because
Good Sunday morning all! I was having a play one day and came up with today's card. I used Peacock Feathers, Blueprint Sketch and Twisted Citron Distress inks randomly all over a piece of white card. Next I attached the mask (I cannot recall what it's called) over the coloured background an used white texture paste through it. I set it aside to dry overnight, then coated it with spray adhesive and sprinkled Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz over all of it. Using the Round Corner Squares, I cut a multi-layered white frame and added it with mounting foam over the image. I cut the Just Because sentiment out of Cobalt blue card and added a black shadow to it. I glued it into place inside the frame. The card was completed with white and cobalt blue mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a gorgeous creation, love the background, I would love to know the name of the background if any of your followers could find out, it is so clever. The colour choice is perfect.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x Fantastic card Sue x the background is brilliant and it looks perfect with just your sentiment x thankyou Sue x Theresa w in Berks xxx
Hi Sue. What a lovely background today which I am sure we would all be able to recreate using a different mask as there are so many wonderful masks and stencils out there today.
Ooh a new technique & definitely one to try. These sorts of cards I find are good for men & teenagers & are always useful to have standing by for any forgotten birthdays. Thank you Sue.
Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteWow a brilliant background and very pretty colours thank you.
