Hi again ......

I haven't made a very good start to my original plan to write regular blog posts but life has got in the way as it often does. This blog shows a card I made on Saturday as a result of things happening in my life but it was a good thing. My son passed his BSc (Hons) in Animal Management and science so I just had to make a card for him.

First I used a creative expressions star embossing folder and cut out a frame and centre piece using Sue Wilson's Stitched Lattice Frames die. Also Congratulations three times using a Tattered Lace die which was a free gift on one of their magazines.

I then used Pebeo gilding waxes and applied them a little at a time with my finger until I was happy with the look. I then used copper shine gilding polish around the edges of my base card. I applied the embossed panel on next using 3D foam tape and then used 3D silicon adhesive to add the other pieces. I intended the three Congratulations to be off set from each other but the 2nd and 3rd ended up more in line than I intended. If I try to get something in line it never works ...... oh well !!!!

The finished card !!!
