Hello crafters! Since we have just launched our new Cosmic Shimmer Pearl Tints recently, I thought I would share a card I made with them! In fact, our Gwen Fletcher is doing a show on Create & Craft this week on the 15th with them! I started by cutting the Happy Big Bold Word die out of black card. I glued it to a piece of clear acetate. Working from the reverse side, I used the Pearl Tints to fill in all of the letters. The colours I used were Chateau Rose, Blue Diamond, Racing Green, Canary Song and Heavenly Pink. I covered a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet, then peeled the backing paper off and coated it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz. I cut a frame from the Clipped Corner Rectangles and added it with mounting foam to the Happy die (once the pearl tints were good and dry). Next I added the frame piece to the glittered background. I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with a tag die, then added it to the lower corner of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Good Morning Sue and all.
A wonderful card with it's Pearly tints. It has that quiet and peaceful look that I really love. I do wonder where all the inspiration comes from and I think I might just stagnate if you didn't wake me up.
Have a good day every one.

Hope you feel better soon xx
Hi Sue after 12 months of staying behind doors, I have 2 wonderful happy hours with our small family and I'm full of cold which due to a weak immune system finishes with pneumonia and intravenous antibiotics, so feeling rough I dozed off before I popped in but I'm wide awake and loving today's inspiration. All I pray for is the day I can start collecting the only dies I've ever asked for over the past how many years its been since you started designing these beautiful crafting tools. So I'll send my love to all that visit today, and please stay safe and keep well xxx
Good morning Sue this is a stunning birthday card. I love it. Take care. Hugs Jackie

I really love these oversized sentiments. A change of colors and you have a card for anyone for so many occasions. This card says “Spring” even though it’s a birthday card.
