Miss You Times Three

Hello everyone!  Another peek at one of the cards for Tuesday evenings shows.  I did not think that I would have enough time to do justice to this card during a demo so I have opted to just share it with you here instead.  I started with a piece of decorative paper (white background with a small purple print to it, I apologise as I don't recall the company it is from)  I covered it with a Creative Expressions sticky self adhesive sheet.  I peeled off the backing paper and covered it with micro beads.  I rounded the top corners and attached it to some purple card at the bottom.  I cut three Venetian borders, offset them and created a petticoat for the bottom of the card.  I tied some American seam binding around the joining areas and tied a messy bow and added a pearl button embellishment to the centre.  By the way, the colour of the ribbon from the manufacturer is called mauve, but it is as lavender as it comes, very confusing.  Next I cut three of the Venetian motifs out of coconut white card.  Using the piercing holes as a guide, I cut the inside out of each of the motifs.  I interlocked them using their curly cue parts and laid them over a wide strip of purple card with a white mat.  I stamped the tiny "miss you" sentiment in each of the areas. (Yes, my hand slipped a bit in the last one, but I had already glued them down so it is what it is! I really wasn't fussed enough to re-do it!)  I added some swirly pearls above and below my diagonal strip.  I cut one of the butterflies from the Les Papillon set and added it to the corner to complete my card.  I hope you have enjoyed another little taster for the coming shows.  All for now, Sue x
