Tilda with Cozy Heart ♥

Papirplanetens utfordring for Juli og August #8. har Sommer som tema! Det passer jo fint :) De herlige motivstemplene jeg har brukt på kortet er fra Magnolia, og de fleste av dem kan finne her hos Papirplaneten. Vi håper du blir inspirert til å delta! ♥

Ser det ut som om tallerkenen hun sitter på er omgitt av oppvask-skum? Fikk en idé om å bruke Tilda Lace die til nettopp det *lol* 

Den nydelige forgyllingen på rammen er IndigoBlu Megaflakes, som ga meg litt hodebry.. Du kan nesten ikke puste når du holder på ellers flyr flakene over hele bordet og deg selv. Så ut som tingeling når jeg var ferdig på scrapperommet for kvelden ;)  Og Flitterglu'en som påføres først er så 'sticky' at man kan kun ha det på en stencil eller et stempel i noen øyeblikk før det må legges i vann, ellers får du litt aven jobb med å skrubbe av limet! Men resultatet blir så fint at det er verdt litt kaos! Neste gang skal jeg ha et vannbad rett ved siden av der jeg holder på, tatt lærdom av youtube ~ demo by Kay at CHA.

..a FRIEND listens to the words, but can also hear the heart..

I just adore Magnolia stamps ♥ This card is my DT inspiration for PapirPlaneten, an all norwegian challengeblog and craft shoppe, and the theme for July & August is Summer! :)
Does it seem like the dinner plate she sits on is surrounded by dishwashing foam? I have the Tilda Lace die and got the idea that it kind of looked like it could be foam *lol*

I used the amazing Indigo Blu MegaFlake gilding on the frame, for the first time I might add, and oh my! What a sticky mess!!! And whatever you do - DON'T breathe! Or it will fly everywhere ~ I looked like tinkerbelle afterwards *lol* 
But it looks awesome ♥ 
Next time with a bit more caution though... I used it first on a tim holtz flower stencil (such a pretty result for a future project), and I took my time dabbing glue into all the little gaps of the stencil.. which was very bad apparently! It only took a minute before the glue was too sticky on the stencil that I couldn't get it off when I took it to wash in the sink!
 
I ended up probably spending 15 minutes getting it almost all off by scrubbing and nearly damaging the tiny details in the process.. I've been educating myself on youtube now ~ demo by Kay at CHA ~ so I will be sure to have a tub of water next to me and only dab for 10 seconds before hurling it into water ;)
