Have a Wonderful Day - my card for DH

Morning Everyone,

I hope you are all well, and that everyone caught up in the gales, storms and generally nasty weather, is okay.

I have a busy day scheduled so this will, of necessity, be a very quick post. I just wanted to share the card I made for the EM's birthday today.
Difficult to photograph this one because of all the shiny surfaces. This is the best of a bad batch of pics. This was a painty, inky, messy job that took way longer than anticipated, but was great fun to do :)

The topper is made from one of the many prints pulled of the Gelli plate a few weeks ago, inked, stamped, waxed silver and Frantaged,  The base layer has been embossed with a little-used M-Bossibilities folder, inked and waxed ... that gilding wax gives gorgeous results but, oh boy is it messy :))
Materials used:

  • Black and teal Papermill Direct card
  • Spellbinders M-Bossibilities Regal folder, Martha Stewart Arches edge punch, Tim Holtz DIs, Black Soot, Peacock Feathers and Pebeo Silver Gilding Wax for base layer
  • Gelli plate, black, blue and orange acrylic paints; Special Touch Circles mask and bubble wrap for print Stamp from Sheena's A Little Bit Sketchy Only Words - Through The Rain and Black fine tip pen; Turquoise Frantage
  • silver card candi from Craftworks

That's it - I said it was going to be brief, didn't I. Got to get on :)

Take care and have a happy Monday.
