'Courage'

Good evening  all,

Hope everyone is well, despite this dull, damp weather.   I suppose we mustn't complain, as the weather could be much worse at this time of the year.   I just keep thinking, Spring is just around the corner lol.

Thank you all for your recent comments and visits to my last blog, really appreciate them.   Tonight I would like to share a card I made for Sue's shows on the Create & Craft T.V. Channel which were shown a week or so ago,  when she launched the lovely Modernista Collection.

     
This is quite a quick card to make so let's get started shall we?

Take a six and a quarter inch square of white card and using the fabric decoupage glue,  glue the section of the rice paper with the mandala design on it, onto the square of white card.   Trim away any excess rice paper.   then add a thin layer of the white Gesso onto it to knock it back slightly.

     
Lay the diamond image from the A4 stencil onto the left of the now coloured card and spread the Silver Sparkle & Twinkle over it, using a metal spatula.    I masked off part of the stencil to stop accidentally spreading the Sparkle & Twinkle where I did'nt want it.

     

   
Repeat this on the top right-hand side, remove  the stencil and leave the images to dry.

Using the white pearls, add dots around the mandala design and leave to dry.

         

    

   
Matt this onto a slightly larger square of wine red card and then onto the 7" x 7" white base card.

Die-cut the heart and the word 'courage' twice from white card, using the dies  from the collection and glue one  on top of the other  so they stand out more, then glue the heart to the centre of the design and the word across the bottom right corner.

   
Well lovelies that's this card finished.     Take care of yourselves, have a good week and I will be back again soon.
