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
