Here’s today’s card –
I started by colouring two pieces of Coconut White Card – one with Blushed Peach Opal Polish and one with Tango Tease Lustre Polish.
Now, there are two ways to create this background – Sue’s way (probably the easiest way) and my way.
I cut the top layer in the Lillian Triple Layer Die Set into a piece of Coconut White Card several times. At the same time, I cut the middle layer into pieces of my Tango Tease Card. I glued these pieces to the back of my background piece and glued the whole thing to a piece of my Blushed Peach card.
Sue’s way – Pop the card you’re using for the top layer and the middle layer together using low tack tape and cut the middle layer die into them several times. Remove the middle layer piece (on the bottom) and place the top layer over the already cut areas and re-cut. Repeat until you’ve done this on all the earlier cuts then glue all your layers together.
I made a frame out of Coconut White Card using the Double Stitched Squares and added it to my background using Woodware Foam Tape.
I matted onto Coconut White Card and more of my Tango Tease Lustre Polish Card (I did actually gut it).
I cut a Stitched Flag out of Coconut White Card and tucked it under my frame. I cut the Belated Birthday Greetings Mini Expression out of my Tango Tease card. My flowers are made using the Petite Forget Me Nots and more of my coloured card.
