Miss You

Hi bloggers!  I started today's card by covering a piece of card with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled the backing paper off and drizzled Purple Dawn Aurora Flakes over it.  I used a piece of rubit scrubit pad to move the flake all over and adhere it to the sticky sheet.  A light rub removes the excess flake for a refined look.  Next I used the Double Stitched Octagon die set and cut frames out of it.  I used every other one for this card (and saved the remainders for another creation, I love the two-fer this sort of layout gives you!).  I added mounting foam to the back of the frames and attached them to a piece of white card.  I used a small leftover corner of the flake sheet and cut out the Miss You sentiment and the centre for my flower.  I glued the sentiment into the centre of the frames.  Using the Petal Pocket flowers, I made one in white and added the flake centre to it with a pearl.  I seated the flower on the left side and accented it with Lace Edged Leaves cut in white.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  7 1/4" in size.  All for now. Sue x

Hi Sue

Quite a striking card with great use of gilding flakes. I agree with Steph, you are really missed on our TV screens. However, I know safety comes first. Any chance of any more ‘kitchen’ demos?

Love Helen xxx

Morning Sue,
I would love to invest in some Aurora flakes but I am still wading, knee deep in gilding flakes. They're like magic. The more you use them, the more they increase!!
Great to see the Octagon dies and thanks for the reminder as must find mine and give them an airing.
Lovely sentiment too and like everyone else, I really miss seeing you demo on tv.
Stay safe. Hugs xxx Pauline

Gilding Flakes and glitter....I have to steel myself to use. Funny, I never mind pastes. Well, this is a beautiful card none the less. I am missing the videos on You Tube but I know that you would go on and make this card look like a piece of cake.
Everyone have a great day. Rain here and a soaked dog so not starting out so well,

Suzzette Yandle said...

A lovely way of using concentric shapes. In this case your Double Stitched Octagon set is used. The Purple Dawn Aurora Flakes are my favorite color of the Aurora Flakes. Thank you for the inspiration. Hugs

Eunice Astle said...

Magnificent card Sue, the Purple Aurora flakes are amazing!!!

Lisbeth said...

Hi Sue. Love this simple style of card which really shows off the aurora flakes and what a bonus to get two cards out of the one sheet of flakes.

Fluffycat said...

Hi Sue, I love the colour of the Purple Dawn Aurora Flakes and a great idea for getting a two-fer. We all have someone that we miss and cannot see under the current circumstances so this card would be most appropriate.

A lovely way to use the Aurora flakes. The colours are so intense so to break them up with the White is ideal. Going to try this. Thank youSue.
