Hello Friend

Hi crafty friends!  The majestic elements dies are a really lovely addition to the line this year.  Here I have used the Marvellous Squares for a really simple card.  I started by stamping my sentiment in the lower corner using a clear perfect medium pad and heat embossing with gold powder.  I wanted a bit of bling so I cut a square of black glitter card.  On top of that I cut a piece of black card using the largest die from the Marvellous Squares.  I love the tiny pierced edge you get from this one.  Using the soft gold card, I cut a frame using the next sizes down in that set.  I liked the shape of the cut outs from this so I used the die again but out of black card this time so that I could use them atop the gold card.  The corner pieces hook into each other to form the sort of diamond shape.  I cut the smallest piece out of gold card and inked it while in the die with clear perfect medium.  I heat embossed it with clear powder and mounted it in the centre of my focal element.  I wrapped a piece of champagne coloured silky crush around the bottom of the card.  I tied a double bow and topped it with a fancy button from my craft stash.  I used one of the beautiful stick pins that were given to me by blog friend Linda Burrows (isn't it gorgeous!).  I think it was quite fitting for the opulent colours in the card, don't you?  All for now, Sue x
