Happy Birthday Wendy


Good morning.

Another friends birthday today, HAPPY BIRTHDAY WENDY.

My background on this card is using the acetate method and pixie powders.  You may have seen Julia Watts do this technique on Hochanda.

Take a piece of acetate and cover it in dries clear glue, make sure you spread it over in a thin coat - yes it will be messy but work it.   

Spray it with some water to keep it moist then cover tap pixie powders of your choice over the glue.  You can also add glitter, gilding flakes etc at this point.  Give it a final misting with water and then screw up a piece of white tissue paper, in screw and place on top of the glue and gently press down with some kitchen roll.  DON'T rub.  Leave to dry.

The die I have used is a Creative Expressions background one.

I then stamped some flowers using  Small Jewelled Flower stamps from Chloe's Creative Cards and some blue cosmic shimmer embossing powder.  Finished off with pearl Tonic Nuvo Drops.

The sentiment is a stamp from Phill Martin's Lavish Leaves collection and embossed using the same embossing powder as the leaves.

I have also made a box for this card in plain dark blue card and made another flower finishing off with a gift tag.
Thank you for visiting today.

Take care.
