Miss You

Hi bloggers!  I think I missed showing this card (at least I can't find hide nor hair of it anywhere!).  I made it for shows in Aug. or Sept.  It is one of those long skinny shaped cards I adore.  I used the fancy lattice and extended it to make a long background (it was about 5" x 9" in size as I recall).  I left the edge on the sides of it so I had somewhere to hide my mounting foam pieces!  I cut frames from the Marvellous Squares, one larger, two smaller for my focal elements.  I love this set of dies because there are so many different combinations you can use to create different looking shapes.  I layered them across my card and added two white flourishes on each side.  In the centre I used one of the dies from the French Frills by Samantha Walker to create a frame to highlight my sentiment.  I stamped my sentiment on the same pale celery green card as my frames and cut it out with the smallest die in the Marvellous Square die set.  I added just a light inking of Shabby Shutters to give it some dimension.  I tied a double bow using the ruffly edged white ribbon and added a pearl embellishment and stick pins to the centre.  I pierced the top and bottom edges and added some tiny pearls as accents on the dies.  Whatcha think?    Also, a quick note, I see that we have hit the blog candy goal.  However, it will have to be postponed until I am back in the UK .  Don't worry, even if we hit the next goal, I will just do a second drawing then also.  All for now, Sue x
