'Caught In Crystal' Background Challenge card

Good Morning Ladies,

As you can see I am a little bit obsessed with these new Papercuts Flower Edger dies, they are Designed by Cathie Shuttleworth (For Creative Expressions )

Ben at In2Craft has everything you need to make this card, that's where all my new craft goodies came from, he actually has a great feature on his website where you can shop for everything you see on a Craft show on TV all in one place, just click the ''As Seen On TV'' button and choose your show.

Today's die is the 'Clematis' Edger, which I cut in white card,  I used the Noble Double Stitched Rectangle set B to die cut the frame.
My background is made by taking a sheet of Acetate and adding a liberal swirls of Pure Amethyst and Pink Topaz Crystal Tint Lacquers, I added some Mermaid Purple Glitterbitz, as if that wasn't enough sparkle I added some Frosty Dawn Glitter too,  I took a piece of tissue paper and screwed it up, I then teased it out a little and squidged it into the sparkly, purple pink mess on the acetate, now a bit of a tip here.... to make sure you get the tissue paper pressed right into the crystal tints etc, so instead of using a bit of kitchen roll that you would throw away, use a piece of card , that way you get an extra background as a bonus. You need to put your acetate to one side to dry,  probably over night but you can check it after a couple of hours if you are as impatient as I am!!  Once dry you can use for whatever you please.
I placed mine behind my Clematis Edger die, added a white frame,  some metallic edged Berry Burst ribbon and a tag with 'Just For You ' stamped on it. I mounted the card onto a piece of Berry Burst card and then onto a white card base.
The final finishing touch is those faceted gems which I coloured with Alcohol Inks.

I hope you all have a lovely day ladies,

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
