Frantage

Have a Wonderful Day - teal and gold

Ooops! It's been a while - life getting in the way again.


Had a go at using some Nuvo mousse...not brilliant but I like it.  I have to say this mousse is rather lovely to use - great texture. I went to use my usual gilding wax ( Creative Expressions), which I have had for quite a while and found it had completely solidified.  I think I'll be sticking with the Nuvo.

Items used:

Embossing folder: Embossalicious Floral Wonder
Nuvo mousse Indian Gold
Dies: Downton Abbey Classical Edge, Sweet Dixie Pretty Petals, Sue Wilson Delicate Fronds, SB Labels 10
Sentiment: Dovecraft Sweet Paris stamped with Memento Black
DI Peacock Feathers
Gems from stash
