Graceful Lilac - Birthday Wishes

Good Morning Everyone,

Its been a busy time these last few days, Phill's Craftathon was  a great success, many thanks to all who attended, judging by the comments on the day, you all enjoyed yourselves.


Today's card 8 x 8

Products Used:- ( which are also links to Phill's Website) :-)


8 x 8 Card Blank
Graceful Butterflies and Dragonflies Paper Pad
Dragonfly Days Background Stamp
Sentimentally Yours Baroque Sentiments 2 Collection Stamps
Lilac Card Stock
White Card Stock
Graceful Lilac Mister Spray
Graceful Lilac Mica Powder
Graceful Lilac P.V.A
Graceful Lilac Twinkles
Seam Binding
Medium Dazzlers
Spell Binder Dragon Delight Dies
Sue Wilson French Collection Provence Dies

























The first thing I did before cutting out was to colour the Seam Binding with Graceful Lilac Mister Spray. ( needs time to dry)

1st Layer Lilac Paper from Paper pad cut to 7.75 square.
I then cut a strip of the coloured Seam Binding and attached it to the 7.75 square before attaching to the main card.

Next I cut the layers:-

2 pieces of plain white card stock

1st layer - 7 x 4.25
2nd layer - 7 x 2.25

I then inked the edges and attached flat to the main card.

Using the Lilac Card Stock I cut 2 pieces

1st - 6.75 x 4"
2nd - 6.75 x 2"
and attached to the card using pads.

I then cut 2 more pieces of white card

1st - 6.5 x 3.75
2nd - 6.5 x 1.75

Using a small amount of Mica Powder and Mister Spray I blended these together to use as ink, then using the Dragonfly Days Background Stamp I randomly stamped. Once dried I attached to the card using pads to give dimension.





Sentiment

I cut out the centre feature using white and lilac card stock, and the Provence Die.

I chose a Sentiment from the Baroque Collection and then attached to to the card.







Finishing Touches
Using White and Lilac Card I cut out the Dragonflies and attached to the card. I then added the P.V.A. and Glamour Dust.

I added Graceful Lilac Twinkles around the edge of the sentiment.


Finally with the remaining Seam Binding I made a double bow and swags, then finished  off with a Whie  medium size Dazzler.




                                  Happy Crafting
