Good Sunday morning all! I started this card by covering a piece of card with a
sticky adhesive sheet. I peeled the backing off and coated it with
Sunlight Speckle Gilding Flakes. I used a piece of
Rubit Scrubit pad to refine and remove the excess flakes. Next I used the
Brambled Rose embossing folder to emboss the background. I used a
Black Soot Distress Oxide ink pad over the top of the embossed design to bring out the pattern. I coated it with
clear embossing powder and heated it until it melted, this keeps the black from coming off on your fingers. Next I cut the backing die from the
Eliza die out of a piece of card that I had coated with
Silver Chrome Glitter Kiss. I cut the
Eliza again in white and added the decorative version on top of the silver backing. I cut the centre out of it and added mounting foam then added it to the centre of the card. I cut a
Pierced Flag die out of white and attached it across the centre of the frame. Using a bit of extra silver card, I cut the
Thank You sentiment and the
Striped Nasturtium outline dies. I cut the flower base in white then attached the outline dies over the top and assembled the flower. I seated the flower on the end of the flag and added a couple of leaves and
Fern Fronds as accents. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x

What a beautiful card today sue I was so excited to see it made into this beautiful gift so many tips for us to use thank you so much love always june horrocks xxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteA lovely card with a striking background. I have never tried embossing my gilding flake backgrounds, so anotherone to try. Thank you Sue.
ReplyDeleteA stunning and luminous card design. All of the textures and steps you used to make this design came together in a positive reaction of loveliness. Great idea to heat emboss over the oxide ink to stop the rubbing off of the pigment. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue this is a stunning card. I love it. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a really striking card and I love everything about it especially Eliza.
ReplyDeleteI hope the mums on here have enjoyed their Mothering Sunday even if they have been unable to see their children. I heard some families have been pretty ingenuous finding ways to see mum even if only through a window!
