Hi there!

I'm still attempting to get a

stock of cards together so I

don't get caught out......again!

How're you doing?

Angela Radford is here today

with another background

card and tag set for us.....

"Here today to show you a card

 I've made using a Mushroom Lane

 stamp, they are so cute.

I started by making a background paper 

using a Tim Holtz stencil with the 

Oxide inks.

Once that was complete I used another

 Tim stencil with crackle paste to add 

more texture and when that was dry 

I rubbed over it gently with gilding wax.

For the main image I began by die cutting 

a square of card and applying oxide ink. 

Splattered water on this and used tissue to 

remove some of the ink. 

I used Flitter glue with the stamp. 

Apply the stamp lightly as this is very sticky 

and don't leave it on the card for too long

 or it can be difficult to remove. 

I know this from experience! 

Apply the gilding flakes then rub away 

the excess.

Next I mounted coloured card to the 

craft card blank.

 This photograph really shows you how shiny 

the gilding flakes are.

Using some of the left over background card 

and lace, I made a band to go across the card.

And so to the completion.

 Before adding the band, I applied a sentiment.

I decided to make an extra mat from 

one of the Craft cards

Here is the completed card. 

I made a small gift tag to go with it using some 

left over background card and some wooden 

embellishments decorated with gilding wax 

and gilding flakes. Finished off by adding

Bakers Twine and blue pearls

This close up shows the tag much better

 and the gilding. 

Hope you enjoyed watching me make this

Happy crafting, Angela xXx
