Sending Big Hugs

 Hello crafters!  I just can't stop making these pretty rainbow backgrounds!  There is something very satisfying just looking at the sparkle of them in real life!  I used a piece of Silver Sparkle alcohol ink card and applied an assortment of alcohol inks diagonally across the card.  I cut two of the Jewelled Scalloped Border in white.  On one of them, I nipped away the lattice portion and glued it to the other border, but facing the opposite direction.  I glued them both the the bottom of the card.  I cut the Sending Big Hugs in black and added it to the white shadow backing die cut.  I added it with mounting foam to the top of the card.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  7 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x
