Sending Lots Of Happiness

Hello there my crafty friends!  I selected a piece of "caught in crystal" to use as my background.  On a piece of acetate, I added Cosmic Lacquer then sprinkled it with Aqua Lagoon and Emerald green Pixie Powders.  I scrunched up a piece of white tissue paper and laid it down over the acetate, then tamped it down with a piece of paper towel and set it aside to dry overnight.  I trimmed it to the size I wanted then backed it with a piece of white card (it helps it to look brighter and helps to stay flatter too).  I cut the Buttercup Floral Panel in black and added it to the  white frame in the set.  Using the Butterfly Delight set, I cut three varying sizes of butterflies in black and glued them onto the right side of the card.  I used the Sending Lots Of Happiness sentiment cut in black and glued it in the lower right corner of the card. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Not a lot to say other than how I wish I could see this in 'real life' a true Sue Wilson explosion of total beauty.

Hi Sue. Such a pleasing design today and one of the things that I like the most is that you can change the frames around these panel dies to suit your design.

Hi Sue and everyone another gorgeous technique done on acetate. I have followed your blog for all this time and still haven't done an acetate technique. I really need to try one as I love the acetate backgrounds both yourself and Jamie do.
Not sure why but I have to keep putting in my name before I comment as it puts anonymous lol.
Its still me though haha.
Hugs Donna xx

Beautiful background on a lovely card. I like the result you get when you use "caught in the crystal" technique, but I must confess that I have never tried it.

Hugs from Toronto to you all.
Stay safe and healthy.

I lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn't get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Wilfred helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I never believe it but I took the risk to take a loan of $1000. and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I earn $12,500 in 6 working days, the most joy is that I can now take care of my family I don't know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services.
