Hi bloggers! I pulled out the acetate to create a caught in crystal technique for the background for today's card offering. I used
Cosmic Lacquer as the base on the acetate. Next, I used
Indigo Alcohol ink with a touch of
Fiesta alcohol ink to add some lighter colour to it. I sprinkled some
Mermaid Purple Holographic Glitter onto it, then scrunched up a piece of white tissue paper and added it over the top. I allowed it to dry overnight. I cut the panel from the
Cosmos Floral Panel set twice out of white card and nipped away the slight line left between them, then glued it over the background. I used the
Double Pierced Background Rectangles and made a multi-layered white frame. I used mounting foam to add the layers of the frame together, then to add it to the background. I cut a wide strip of
white vellum and glued it to the edge of the frame and added forked ends to it. I cut the
Best Wishes in white and glued it across the vellum strip. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 5 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now. Sue x

A gorgeous card Sue.
That background is so lovely, I really must start using some of the cardmaking stuff that I've bought over the last few years. I love everything about todays sample and will try to get out of my comfort zone.
Thank you Sue

Good Morning Sue. I love this one. And I love it because it would be suitable for any occassion. All it needs is a different sentiment. I love the die cut panels ... beautiful tiny flowers. The background is gorgeous ... I can just see the tiny little glitter bits on the close ups . I really must give these a try. I rely on my pixies so much that I daren't try the others out. I am stupid or what lol. A great start to the week. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
PLEASE KEEP STAYING SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏
Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
This technique never fails to impress and is stunning. What a beautiful card. WakeyL
Morning Sue what a lovely way to start the week with such a pretty card,
A gorgeous card, love that background with a hint

joining them together.
Stay safe,

Gorgeous post. Love the deep colour of the background and it sets off the white silhouettes beautifully.
Hi Sue
A great big happy Monday to everyone x
And I’m back, lol x
A beautiful card to greet me on my return. Those colours are beautiful and I love your Panel dies. The caught in Crystal technique is one of my favourites and I did try it for the first time earlier this year. Every card I made using the caught in crystal backgrounds were relatively simple but so pretty x
Been away for a little over a month. My mums hip operation went well and she’s doing well x

Hi Sue
Such a pretty card.
Love Helen xxx
Oh my lordie I'd really thought I'd commented this morning, that's my 'keeper' rising earlier than normal and throwing out my morning schedule lol. I'm SO pleased I double checked as I'd have hated missing this gorgeous sample, the intensity of your background is staggering as are your Cosmos floral panels, in fact today's sample is just perfect for many an occasion. Hope everyone is keeping well. Sending love to all xxx
Hi Sue. Love the Cosmos Floral Panel and it looks stunning today cut in white against that gorgeous background. Such a simple idea, but so effective.

A beautiful card suitable for so many occasions. X
A beautiful card Sue. Gorgeous background xx
Hello Sue and all
Such a gorgeous background, I have never tried the caught in crystal but I haven’t done alcohol inks either, really should get some and try. Actually I bought yupi paper once to use what I thought were alcohol inks that I had had for a while but no - they were reindeer’s when I looked properly - silly me.
The cosmos panel looks so lovely against the vivid blues, lovely card
Hugs
