Good Sunday morning all! Unfortunately this is a card that I'll never be able to send as I have no sisters, just three brothers (don't think they would be into this one either! LOL), but it is nice to find a stamp set that has all the different possible combinations that you might need for any family situation. This sentiment comes from the Just Rite stamps All in the Family set (I love this font too!) I decided that I would use this pretty blueish purple colour with white for today's card. Using the Twisted Metal Tag die, I cut an aperture out of a piece of white card. I re-inserted the die into the aperture after removing the very centre piece. I taped it from the back, just catching the edge of the die cut with my tape. I cut a Fancy Lattice piece to go across the opening and taped it to the back as well. I used mounting foam on the back of this piece to raise it for dimension, then added it to a larger piece of my purplish background card. I used the tiny Happy Birthday sentiment from the Justrite set called Iris Vintage Labels Four and cut it out with one of the small dies from the Twisted Metal Tag set. I mounted it in the centre of the lattice in my aperture. I stamped the larger sentiment and cut it out with another die in that set. I inked it lightly with Dusty concord distress ink. I cut a tag from the Fancy Framed tags two set and seated my sentiment on top of it then added it to the bottom of my card. I made torn paper flowers to cascade down the card. Using a perfect medium pad, I inked the edges of the torn circles, then dusted them with white embossing powder. Once embossed, I crumpled them then glued two together to form my flower. I finished each flower with a flatback pearl in the centre. I added corners die cuts from the twisted metal tag set in the two corners without flowers. To complete the card, I added a double white mat and used the white PVA glue from Cosmic Shimmer to frame the edges of the card. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size.

Good afternoon Sue,
I am sure you have a very best friend that is more than upto the job of being a sister and she is handpicked. I am lucky to have a few very good close friends that i would send this card to because they are the most precious of sisters that a person can ever have.
This is a beautiful card with lovely colours that any sister or "special" sister would love.
Take care
Love and crafty hugs

Hi Sue
I'm so sorry I looked at your card early this morning, and I have just realized I had not left a message.
I love the colour of this card, and it's sentiment has stirred so many different thoughts and feelings about our sisters. :-)
Kind regards

Dear Sue
Sorry for the late post.
What an unusual shape the aperture is I really love it! The lattice behind it is great and really shows off its unusual shape. The flowers are really pretty with the glittery edges.
The colour scheme is gorgeous.
