For You

 Hello all!  I am loving the new Aurora Flakes, they are so pretty (but very hard to photograph  nicely unfortunately)  I started by covering a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled the backing paper off and sprinkled the Blue Ice Aurora Flakes over it.  I used a piece of Rubitscrubit pad to move the flake around until it covered the sticky sheet, then used it to refine and remove any excess flake.  I used the Delilah Background and cut into the flaked piece.  I cut one more Delilah in black and used it as a shadow behind the other one, then backed the entire piece in white.  Using the Delilah Edgers, I cut two of the side pieces and added in the decorative design to them.  I glued them on top of the background but left a spot open where I tucked in a piece of vellum.  Using a small piece of leftover flaked card, I cut the For You sentiment and glued it to the vellum.  I cut a slightly larger piece of white card and ran double sided sticky tape around the edge.  I used Iced Snow on it, then added the main background piece with foam.  The card was completed with white and black mats nad layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, I agree with you that the aurora flakes are hard to photograph but you have done a great job of showing us what they look like, such beautiful combination of colours, you can clearly see that when the light catches it in some of the photos, well done, as you say not an easy thing to do.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Hi Sue what a beautiful shade, blue and flashing gold, it's the kind of product that's better seen in the flesh but I'm to anxious to visit my little craft shop and I really miss going for a mooch and chat, I order, she orders from CE, then when she's receives the order she drops off my goodies on her way home, how I look forward to the day my crafting life can return to normal, in the meantime your demo's your videos I'm re-watching and of course all the wonderful crafters that work magic with your dies etc are keeping me going and my spirits hight so please STAY SAFE KEEP CARING AND VIGILANT xxx 💖

Hello again Sue.
Lovely card as always.
I'm up late this morning and cam almost hear my Mum saying "If you lose an hour in the morning, you spend the rest of the day looking for it"
Sorry, I digress, I would love to see the card more clearly but it's lovely anyway.
Have a good day.

Hi Sue. I see what you mean about having difficulty photographing cards using aurora flakes although the close-ups have really done your work justice. Love the colour of this one.

Lovely card, I prefer the new Aurora flakes as they are a bit more subtle than the original colours & this teal & gold colourway is my favourite. Thank you Sue.

Beautiful card with the Aurora Flakes plus the Endless Possibilities dies. I do like this blue/metallic variation. I have several of the originals. I may need to take a second look at Aurora Flakes.
Have a great Hump Day to all,
