Light Tomorrow With Today

Hello blog friends!  These new dies called Crosses Two are part of the collection on offer this time.  I know it is a very specialised type of die but aren't they lovely (and not just because they have a lattice design to them either!).  I have to say that the type of card that most people tell me they have to make most often besides birthday cards are either wedding or sympathy.  The Crosses Two work beautifully for both of those needs.  I have put them together with the Bitty Blossoms and a couple of my own flowers creations too.  I like the eclectic mix of flowers as I feel it gives a card a bit more interest.   I added a bit of tulle and pearl string from my craft stash too.  I cut two of the crosses, one in a slightly darker shade of grey to act as a shadow.  I added some Diamond Stickles to the left side as a highlight to it.  I know the colours are a bit sedate, but I liked the way the cream and slightly darker shade in the background paper look against the graytones. I finished the card with lots of dots today.  Silver dots on the smaller focal piece and silver  dots on the background edge.  A tiny pearl spray was added to the top to balance the flowers.  A bit different than my usual label shapes, but I hope you like it!  All for now, Sue x
