Celtic Patterns
38
By Jo Crouch
I love these Celtic stickers and mixing the
plain black with a glitter infill (or the other way
around) gives very striking results without being
as dazzling as two glitter colours mixed together.
Materials Required:
Gold Label Stickers: ZL604U-82 Lettering and
ZL617U-57, XL617U-03 Celtic Squares.
Black Dew Drop Paper: DD04.
Deckled Panels: PCD7U White and
PCD6U Black.
Clear Acetate: PET01.
P.V.A. Craft Adhesive and Sticky Fixers.
Card Mount: DEC6U-98 Pearl Blue.
To Make The Card:
Peel a large turquoise square sticker and place
it centrally onto the white deckled panel. Infill
with the strips, corner and edge pieces from the
black sheet. You can do this using magic tape,
but I find it’s easier to remove the black frame
then pick each infill piece off the sheet with the
point of a craft knife. Just slip the knife blade
anywhere under the piece, lift and transfer to its
new home then slip the blade out again whilst
holding the piece in place with a finger. Don’t
transfer the small squares or tiny edge pieces as
the white of the panel showing through these
small gaps looks rather nice.
Stick a medium and a small square frame
onto the acetate and cut them out leaving a
narrow border of approx. 1mm around each of
them. Infill with pieces from the black sheet
as before.
Cut a sticky fixer into about 8 pieces and
place one piece behind the centre of each of the
two squares. Hold the medium square above
the large one, twist it diagonally and lower into
place. Add the small square positioning it cen-
trally and straight rather than diagonal.
Cut a square of dew drop paper to fit just
inside the black deckled panel. Note: Cut the
edges of the paper so they are parallel with the
rows of dew drops before you begin or your
panels will never look straight. Glue the paper
onto the deckled panel and mount towards the
top left of the card using sticky fixers.
Mount the Celtic panel
centrally onto the black panel
using sticky fixers. Add the
lettering and dots down the
side of the card.
