You Are Amazing

Morning all!  This is my favourite kind of card to do when I only have a few minutes and want to get the most Wow out of that time.  When I am working, I try to keep to a schedule so I know I can get all my samples done for upcoming shows.  Sometimes I take too long working on very detailed cards, but want to stay on target for the number of samples I make for shows.  This is one of those real easy, quick cards for just those occasions.  I selected a favourite Graphic 45 backing paper.  I covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet, peeled the backing paper off and covered it with clear micro beads.  I don't know why, but it instantly makes me happy!  I am a very textural loving person and these just hit the spot for me.  I wrapped a length of cream silky crush around the left side of the card and taped the ends to the back.  I tied a double bow and attached it with a sticky glue dot.  I made a pretty rose out of lavender card and covered it with Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue.  I then dipped it into my container of Rock Candy dry glitter to "sugar" it.  I have some gorgeous stick pins that were made for me by Linda Burrows and this card was just calling out for one of them so I added it to my bow.  I stamped my sentiment using Blue-Violet Archival ink and cut it out with the Stately Circle die.  I inked it lightly while in the die with the same ink.  I cut one of the tags from the Filigree Delight set and inked it also, then mounted my sentiment atop it so you can just see the ends peeking out.  I mounted it in the lower corner of my card with mounting foam.  I finished the card off with a double milk coloured card mat and pierced the inner mat.  I spray of swirly pearls was all that was needed to complete this one.  Quick and easy!  Finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
