Thinking of you Always

Hi guys!  A quick distressed shabby chic card using the Aster Flower topper and jewelled fantasy die sets. I started with a piece of taupe coloured card and stamped my sentiment in the bottom corner.  I stamped my feather from the Design Element stamp set with Antique Linen around the bottom too.   Next,  I used a piece of Kaisercraft paper and cut it into three pieces and matter them with milk coloured card.  I mounted them with 3D foam slightly apart for my background.  I wrapped a piece of teardrop lace and a strip of beaded fringe from my stash around the bottom of the card and taped it to the back.  I added a bow of American seam binding.  I cut three of the Aster toppers (different sizes)out of coordinating Kaisercraft papers and added them to my bow, stacking them and offsetting them. I added a large half pearl to the centre.   I cut two of the jewelled fantasy feathers and added them to my focal element for interest.  I used my scissors to distress the edges of all the matting pieces and finished the card with a spray of pearl swirls.  All for now, Sue x

I've looked at this card several times and am sure I haven't seen all the bits and bobs and layers that are on it. Simply stunning. I like the "triptych" look. It gives it even more dimension.
