Just For You

Morning all!  I pulled out an older die for today's card, the Fleur de Lis Pendant.  Still one of my favourites and probably one of the first of the detailed type dies to come along.  I love the way it looks coupled with Labels 20, just peeking out at all the right spots!  I started with a piece of floral backing paper (Kaiser Craft, I think, but I'm not 100% certain on that).  I covered it with our adhesive sheets and micro beaded it to give it a softer look.  I cut my pendant out of matching rust card to use as the backdrop for my focal element.  I stamped the Justrite Kindness stamp using a clear perfect medium and clear embossed it.  I cut it out with the matching labels 20 die and added pearl Nestabling to the edge.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with one of the Justrite custom tag dies and mounted it with foam for dimension.  I had a strip of background paper left so I decided to make some rolled flowers using it.  I cut the strip into "circles" (not die cut ones, just hand cut ones) of varying sizes and rolled them to create a cascade of flowers across my card.  It is difficult to make out the pattern in my pic, but they are quite pretty in real life as you get a sense of the coordinating flowers.  Keep these kind of flowers in mind if you haven't got enough matching paper for some of the other types.  I added some flatback pearls in the opposite corners and pierced the edges to finish the card.  I think we need to see more of this older Fleur de lis pendant die shape as it is quite pretty I think.  All for now, Sue x
