Hi bloggers! I thought I would show off another colour of the Matte Chalk Polish; the very pretty sky blue. I used the Openwork mask taped to a piece of white card. I pounced the polish through using the foam applicator. It dries very quickly so I cut it into three equal strips in a few minutes. I added mounting foam to the back of each of the strips and attached them to a piece of white card with small gaps between the strips, but the pattern still in order. I cut two of the Magnolia Corners in white and glued them in opposite corners. I used the flower from the set to cut enough flowers to make the six flowers I added to the corners. I cut them out of extra card that I covered with the Sky Blue polish so they would match. I also cut the Bold Thanks sentiment out of it, added a black die cut as a shadow, then glued it to the shadow die which I cut in white. I glued the sentiment to the centre of the card. The card was completed with white and sky blue mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Good Morning Sue and all..
ReplyDeleteAs the early birds have said already "A beautiful card".
I'm sure it would look just as lovely as a shiny card and I have lots of shiny stuff but no chalk and don't want to buy any. I do love the beautiful shade of blue and the Magnolia corners.
We are so lucky to have our daily 'fix' from you Sue. You are a treasure.
Hugs.
