Back

So, I've been offline for a while and without going into detail it's been due to ill health (surprise, surprise). I'm posting something I completed as part of  a commission  before Christmas. The two items I made for the commission are the last non-festive creations I made before I took a little break.

 Indigo Blu - Truly, Madly, Deeply

Marianne Craftables - Chinese Rose

That Special Touch Mask - Small Polka Dots

Distress Ink - Pumice Stone

Perfect Pearls - Perfect Pearl

Friskars corner punch (sorry I don't know its name)

Pearls, ribbon and pins from stash

So this was quite a simple card. I used Pumice Stone DI mixed with spritzed Perfect Pearl to create a silvery background using the wrinkle free technique. I then stamped the Truly, Madly, Deeply stamp with Versamark and applied fine detail embossing powder which I heated. I edged the "image" with a silver ink pad to finish it off. Using my Cuttlebug I dry embossed plain white card with the Small Polka Dots mask and gently rubbed the raised dots with silver ink again. The card the flowers and leaves were made from were given the same treatment as the main image and I added pearls to the centre of each flower. Finally I double mounted everything onto matte silver card.

  I created a box envelope for the card to be transported in.

I provided a final matted square for the recipients' names to be written on and attatched to the envelope.

I shall be trying to catch up with people over the next few days. I hope you are all well and thanks for popping by to visit.
