My third Texture Background Challenge card










πŸ’œπŸ’›πŸ’šHappy Birthday LyndaπŸ’šπŸ’›πŸ’œ



Good Morning Ladies,

Firstly today please join me in wishing out Very Special Friend Lynda, I hope you have an amazing day with your lovely family my lovely XXXXX

It hardly seems possible that we are in July already, these weeks and months are just whizzing by, it's odd to think that we are on the now closer to Christmas than the  beginning of the Year!

Today's card was the result of a bit of a messy play session that I had yesterday afternoon, while having a move around I found some Cosmic Shimmer Lustre Polish, I have 3 colours, I had a play with a couple, spreading them onto both white and black card, this particular background was a blue Lustre Polish that I spread quite thickly onto black card, I then thought about adding some texture, so I scrunched some Cling Film over the wet paste, I then popped it on top of the Aga where it dried quickly, although I was a little disappointed with the amount of texture, so I thought that I would run it through a embossing folder, it was shiny and blue so I decided to go for a Festive theme.
After embossing I added some touches of Silver Gilding Wax, using the wrong side of the Cut and Dry foam, see below Karen.....

I think the fact that it's a firm surface it helps the wax glide over the surface of the embossing.

I tried to take a photo that showed the texture and shine, I thought that I would keep the embellishments simple and leave the textured background as the main feature.
I used some white Dotted Tulle ribbon (SU) and attached it at the back, I then tied a double bow and found a SU Metal Snowflake Embellishment that worked perfectly for the middle of my bow.
I finished the card with 5 tiny diamantes in the centre of some of the snowflakes.
Not a bad result from a bit of messy play!

I hope that you all have a lovely day, especially Our Lynda 

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra

    Sandra-love today’s card, it looks great.

    Yesterday was busy but drama free thank goodness. I’m feeling quite tired this morning so hopefully I will be able to have a day where I’m left to just get on with things. Highly unlikely but I can dream!!!

    The training I had yesterday went well even though I had a bit of a hitch with one aspect yesterday evening but all seems OK now It’s a bit like having a new mobile phone Just a case of getting used to it It’s got some great features which I’m looking forward to utilising a bit further down the line
    It looks very sunny outside and I think the wind has dropped too Hopefully the rain will stay away and I’ll be able to go for a walk

  10. Just a tad late ladies.
    Good job I messaged Lynda and wished her a Happy Birthday. I sent her card off and didn’t think I’d signed it. Although I’d put my stamp as usual on the back.
    Lovely card Sandra.

  11. Hi everyone
    Lovely card Sandra, love the blue 😊
    Sorry I’m late popping in today. Had a busy afternoon! Managed to make another birthday card for Luke for tomorrow, aswell as buying a few more bits for him - nothing like leaving it until the last minute πŸ˜‚
    Hope you’ve all had a good day and enjoy your evening. Mine will be spent wrapping presents and putting up banners and balloons πŸ˜‚
    Hugs to all xxx
