Hi bloggers! More of my favourite products again today, Stamps To Die For, Elegant Labels Four, Scalloped borders, pearl embellishments, the list goes on! I started this card by cutting the Elegant Labels Four out of a piece of Coconut white card. While it was still in the die, I inked the area around the die with Dusty Concord and Tumbled Glass to match my secondary colour. I removed the die and then inserted it back into the card and taped it from the back carefully. I added foam mounting to the back of this piece to raise it for dimension. Next I stamped lavender card with my Stamp To Die For called Flower Frame in black. I cut it out with the large rectangle die from the Radiant Rectangle set. I used the oval from that set to emboss the design in the centre of that piece, then I stamped my sentiment in the middle of it. I mounted this with foam in the middle of the background piece. I cut the bottom of a larger piece of white card using two inserts and one cutting edge from the Scalloped Borders set. I matted it with a piece of lavender card behind it and tied some mauve seam binding around it. I tied a messy bow and added a pearl embellishment and stick pins to it as accents. I added my focal element to the top of this piece and matted it on a piece of white card slightly larger on the sides. I used Cosmic Shimmer white PVA glue to add dots down the sides only. I matted it with a final piece of white card and added flatback pearls to the corners and selected areas within the focal piece to complete the card. I hope it sends you a smile across the miles! Finished dimensions are 7" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
