Hi crafters! I started by creating my caught in crystal background. I used
Lime Peridot, Blue Aquamarine and Pure Amethyst Crystal Tints all over a piece of
acetate. Next, I scrunched up a piece of white tissue paper and laid it on top and tamped it down. I set it aside to dry overnight. Once dry, I trimmed he edges wih a paper cutter and glued a piece of whie card to the back to help reflect the colours. I used the
Slimline Essential Frames and added a double white frame around it. I cut the
You Are So Special sentiment in white and glued it inside the frame. Using the
Cosmos Flower die set, I cut three different sized flowers from a piece of white card covered with a
sticky adhesive sheet. I cut the matching outlines in white, then assembled the flowers. I used
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on the exposed adhesive on the flowers before assembling them. I added them in a cluster then accented them wih
Lace Edged Leaves in white. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 4 1/2" x 9" in size. All for now. Sue x

Morning Sue.
Wow another beautiful card thank you.
Take care stay safe and have fun Kitty.
Hi there Sue. Your inspiration is so special, Particraft is so special, YOU are so special.
I do love how caught in crystal has grown since the day you introduced us to it here, one technique one way now it's one technique but lots of different media's to use within the CIC background, its absolutely beautiful.
Everyone here is SO SPECIAL and I hope you have a lovely day wherever you all are whatever the time of day, and thank you dear lovely blog friends for your kind messages, my poppet was returned home after a good sleep, a few tears and proof she could eat a few 'nanny crisps' my favourite cheese and onion - the day has gone of ice cream to sooth the empty space the tonsils use to live, it sounds so cruel to give something so sharp to young children after throat surgery doesn't it? Bet they take some convincing bless them xxxx
Beautiful card, love the background xx

Another beautiful post. The background is stunning and it perfectly showcases the flowers and sentiment in white....
Hi Sue. Love the colours you have chosen to create the background. The darker colours really make the white accents pop and it is so pretty you don't need too much more to create a stunning card.
