You Are So Special

Good Sunday morning all!  I selected a piece of Amethyst card for the background.  I used the outer die decorative from the Stained Glass Grapevine die set and cut it into the top of the card.  I backed it in white.  I cut the centre die in white and backed it in amethyst card.  I cut the grapevine die in black and glued a piece of clear acetate to the back.  I used Polished silk glitter and added glue to the sections, then sprinkled on the glitter starting with the darkest areas first.  I set it aside to dry overnight then glued it to the middle of the die cuts.  I cut the Lace Filigree Border in white and added it at the bottom of the card.  I cut the You Are So Special die in black, and added it to a white shadow acking and attached it below the focal element and above the border. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/4"  in size.    All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue
Love the outer decorative border cut into the amethyst card, I always forget about cutting into the card rather than cutting out of it, a really lovely stained glass card

Love and hugs to everyone
Pat
