To A Dear Friend

Hello crafters!  I selected a caught in crystal piece from my background stash to use as the background for today's card.  I used Crystal Tints to create the background.  It used Lime Peridot, Pure Amethyst and Blue Aquamarine Crystal Tints.  I applied them randomly to a piece of acetate, then used my finger to move them around and fill up the sheet, then I covered them with a piece of scrunched up tissue paper and set it aside to dry overnight.  I cut the Poinsettia Scalloped Border in white and added it to the bottom of the card.  I added a thin strip of the background to the top of it.  I cut the Jocelyn die in white and cut it in half and added it as the back piece to the focal element.  I added the Priscella die cut in white on top of it.  I cut a centre rectangle and glued the To A Dear Friend sentiment to it which I cut in black.  I made a single flower using the Pinwheel Florals and added some Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz to the base of the flowers before adding the top decorative piece to it.  I cut the Magnolia Corner in white and used it as a leafy accent for the flower.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  8 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x
