Happy Thanksgiving to my lovely friends across the pond!
Wishing you all a blessed and restful day with those you love!
Today's card is one of those 'all purpose' cards, you could use for lots of occasions - including Thanksgiving!
I made this card for a photo inspiration feature in November's issue of
Making Card Magazine!
Here's how...
Create a 14cm square card blank with the fold at the side. Create a square of black glitter card the same size and fix it to the card blank. Set aside
Create a 14cm square of smooth card and starting in the centre blend the distress oxides outwards in the following order - Scattered Straw, Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean, Seedless Preserves, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot
Fix the stencil over the inky card securing it to the work surface with masking tape. Spread the Glimmer Paste over the stencil, scrape off the excess. Carefully remove the stencil and leave the design alone until the paste is completely dry.
Once the paste has dried flick water and Perfect Pearls over the design and allow to dry.
Tear a 17cm x 2.5cm strip of vellum and wrap it around the bottom of the card design as shown, securing it at the back with tape.
On a piece of smooth card blend distress Oxides in Peacock Feathers and Seedless Preserves and Flick with water. Die cut with the celebrate sentiment and fix to the vellum.
Fix the card design to the card blank set aside earlier.
