'Framed Beauty.'

Hi there Lovelies,

Hope this post finds you all well.   The weekend is creeping up on us once again.   Where do the days go to lol!!

I have another card to share with you which was made for the Create & Craft shows earlier this month, when David Watt launched the gorgeous 'Beautiful Ladies' Collection, an amazing set of rice papers with either gold or silver foiling on them, which unfortunately does not show up well on my photos.   This card has silver foiling on.

Cut out the section of the rice paper with the lady in the frame, keeping the right-hand edge straight but leaving enough extra rice paper to bend around the back of a piece of card and the bottom edge.

 Fix this to some extra white card using the Cadence Decoupage Glue, bending and gluing the excess rice paper to the back of the piece of white card.   Leave this to dry.   Cut away the small label on the left of the frame and keep for later.

When dry, cut away any excess white card from the shaped edges which are not bent to the back of the card.

Lay the mixed media stencil onto the 8"x8" white base card, judging approximately, where the lady in the frame will eventually, be when fixed to the right-hand side of the base card, then spread the Cadence Dora Perla Silver Relief Paste through the 'crackle' design, using a metal spatula.

Remove the stencil and leave the image to dry.

Glue the main image of the lady and the frame onto the right-hand side of the base card, lining up the edge with the edge of the base card but not sticking down the bottom left of the frame just yet.

From the sheet of rice paper, roughly cut out the bottom left corner with the edging and roses on, then fix this to some spare white card using the decoupage glue..

When dry, cut this out, add some sticky foam pads behind the roses,.  glue to the bottom left of the base card, tucking part of the border under the bottom of the frame, then stick down the roses onto the frame.

 Trim the label and glue to the top left of the base card using sticky foam pads.

Cut out the rosebud from the rice paper and glue to a piece of white card, again using the decoupage glue and when dry, trim away any white card, then fix this to the top left of the frame using sticky foam pads.  

Well, that's all for now my friends,  I'll be back again soon with another card.   Take care of yourselves and stay safe.  Happy crafting.
