Creative Expressions - Mum

Good morning, It's Monday which means it's time for my creation over at the Creative Expressions Blog and this month we are playing with Sparkle Texture Paste and Stencils, I am loving July lol.  I get to play with the awesome Dina Wakely masks, and today I made a card for my mum's birthday.  Now you may be thinking blue and purple again, but this card set off the weekend makes not the other way around lol.  As always I shall highlight all the products of Creative Expressions :-).

I so love this card, I never thought I would be doing a clean looking Mum card

with Dina Wakely stencils, but here is the proof :-)

Lots of close ups :-)

Doesn't the sparkle look fabulous, and it dries really fast as well.

And now for the step by step ...............

I cut a circle from acetate using Spellbinders Circle Die.

I used some Creative Expressions Coconut Card Stock and added some tape

around the outside for a border, I then sprayed a little bit of adhesive to the back

of my acetate circle and added it into the middle.

Next I taped down Ranger Dina Wakely Stencil Plastic Canvas

Then I used my palette knife and spread a mix of Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle

Texture Paste Lavender Mist and Perrywinkle.

I peeled off the stencil and cleaned it straight away.  I normally can just use

Creative Expressions Boss Wipes, but I also had to rinse under some warm water

to rinse all that glitter, seriously this paste is packed with gorgeous glitter :-)

I took the acetate circle away and the tape around the edges and left the card

to dry.  I have saved the circle as it looked awesome covered in the paste, I didn't take a

picture but I'm sure you will see it soon on some creation lol.

I lightly sponged Distress Ink Dusty Concord and Chipped Sapphire,

it may not look to blended but I knew I was going to be using some mist on it.

I sprayed a lot of Cosmic Shimmer Mist Pearl over the

above card stock and left dry.

Next I stamped Creative Expressions Lilly Spray with Archival jet black ink

and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Detail clear powder.

Sorry not a good picture, I highlighted them using my coloured pencils

(details at the bottom of the page) and edged with Distress Maker
Seedless Preserves.  I then added drops of Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle

Texture paste on the tops, as if I was using a glitter glue.

I added a stencilled Mum with the sparkle paste and did some

stitching around the edge.  I then matted on some Creative Expressions Navy

Card Stock and then on a card blank.

I coloured the backs with some promarkers and then layered the flowers around

the circle to look like a wreath.  I then added some Creative Expressions Heart
Embellishments.

I hope you like my card, my mum loved it, to finish it off I did add a lovely verse inside on some nice paper and more navy card stock.  Simple but looks effective I think, I shall definitely try this again, it makes the background look great with just an acetate circle, some gorgeous sparkle paste and a fab stencil.
Happy Crafting :-)
