Thanks Friend
Good Sunday morning all! I started today's card by cutting the Floral Dream Cover Plate twice out of white card. I used my double cutting method on both of them but I used the bottom white copy just to glue to the top die cut piece. I cut the same die two more times, but out of antique gold card both times. I used the fall away pieces and paper pieced them back into the design. I covered a larger piece of black card with a sticky adhesive sheet. I peeled the backing paper off and sprinkled Pink Sunset Gilding Flakes on it. I used a piece of Rubit Scrubit pad to move the flakes around and then refine and remove the excess flakes. I glued both of the Cover Plates facing each other on to the gilded background. I cut the Thanks Friend out of Antique Gold card and glued them to either side of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 9 3/4" in size.

Hi Sue. Well, this is certainly an unusual colour scheme today which I think is so pretty. Thank you for showing us yet another way to use the cover plate dies.
Hi Sue, I love your treatment of the Floral Dream Cover Plate and although I can see I am in the minority I'm just not sure about the colour of the gilding flakes, sorry.
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a beautiful card today, all glitter and gold, love it.

I love the design of the card and the cover plate but not sure about the gilding flakes. X
ReplyDeleteLove you the floral plates and the gilding flakes but not sure if they work together. It may just be how it comes across on the photos.
