Teal and White!

Good morning crafty friends!  This is definitely a "Sue" card if you ever saw one, isn't it?  If the teal doesn't tell you then how about that flower made from a border die?  This is the kind of card that definitely makes me do the happy dance!  I embossed the white background using the new Embossibility folder called Splendid.  I extended the pattern by easily lining it up and embossing the second half of it to cvreate a background the size that I needed.  I wrapped some teal vintage ribbon around it and then mounted it a top a few other layers of white card that I had pierced the edge of as an accent.  Next I pierced a smaller pierce of white card for my focal element.  I cut a small piece of teal card, adhered a piece of sticky adhesive sheet to it, removed the backing paper and used the clear micro beads on it to give it a lovely frosted texture.  I cut out the antique frame in white and glued it to the micro bead background.  I stamped my sentiment using a clear perfect medium and embossed it in white on teal card.  I used the Antique frame die template once again to cut out my sentiment.  This time I kept only the sentiment part (saved the frame for another project) and mounted it on foam pieces in my white antique frame.  Using the moroccan border die, I cut two of them in white and added redline sticky tape to the very bottom of them.  In the same fashion as my ribbon roses, I rolled the borders and slightly gathered the tape to create fullness as I went. This created the flower shape.  You need two borders to create a full flower (one border gives you more of a bud).  I added some teal ribbon tied in a bow to my flower.  Using the leaf dies in the damask accent set, I cut several white ones and several teal ones.  I inked the white leaves with Broken China distress ink while they were still in the die.  I added these around my flower as accents.  To complete the card, I added two pearl stick pins as pretty accents.  Simple but my kind of card.  All for now, Sue x
