Joining the great and good of the style set at the unveiling of the British designer's spring/summer 2014 collection, the former Beatles rocker sat next to his wife Nancy Shevell as they watched the likes of catwalk queens Cara Delevingne and Miranda Kerr well and truly rock the runway.

Good Sunday morning all! Another panel card but this time it is the caught in crystal technique. I love this technique and just have to revisit it every so often. I selected three colours of alcohol ink: cool peri, purple twilight and aqua. On a piece of acetate, I used clear Crystal Lacquer and swizzled it all over the sheet. Next, I dripped the alcohol inks all around, being very sparing with the purple twilight as it is much deeper than the other two. I flicked some silver mica powder on to the surface to add some shimmer. I crumpled a piece of white tissue paper and then placed it over the top and used some kitchen roll to tamp it down. I left it to dry overnight. I cut the background into three equal strips and then matted it with white card (this helps to make the colours pop) for my background. I cut the Provence die from my French Collection in coconut white card. I used the smaller die from the Salzburg and cut a frame. I stamped my sentiment then glued the frame over it. I added a thin bead of dries clear glue around the edge of the frame and dusted it with Iced Snow and allowed it to dry before mounting it in the centre. I wrapped some white seam binding around the bottom of the card and added a bow. I made a couple of melted flowers and added one to my bow and one to my sentiment tag. I finished the bow with two matching stick pins. I pierced a background mat in coconut white card then finished the card with a final white mat. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size.
