Wishing You Brighter Days

 Hi bloggers!  Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends!   I started this card with a piece of Powder Pink card and used the Rose Bed 3D embossing folder on it.  Next, I gave it a light coating of spray adhesive and used Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz all over it.  For the focal element, I used Stellar Mink, Moonlit Sea  and Moonlit Storm Luna Paste all over a piece of card.  I applied the paste randomly and smoothed it out with my finger, then allowed it to dry.  Once dry, I cut the Wishing You Brighter Days All In One out of it.  I placed a piece of white card under the luna paste card when cutting the die and it gave me a nice impression of the die on the white card to use.  I added glue to the areas on the white card where the flowers were and glittered them, then added the luna paste die cut to it, lining up the images.  I cut a white backing card and glued it to that, then added it with foam core to the middle of the background.  I cut three butterflies out of some of the leftover Luna Paste card and glued them around the background as accents.  The card was completed with white and powder pink mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  7 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x
