Morning my crafty friends! I seem to be coming across all sorts of cards that I had forgotten about. This one is a soft girlie card that features the Gold Element One corners (so, so pretty aren't they!) I started with a piece of peach coloured card and I actually embossed it first with my
Basketweave embossing folder. I then cut the centre using the decorative insert dies from the
Adorning Squares. Ordinarily, I would cut first so as not to flatten the embossing. However, I was concerned that the detail in the decorative cuts would tear if I embossed them after cutting, leaving holes in the pretty pattern. The embossing was deep enough that it wasn't really bothered. Next, out of milk coloured card, I cut two of the
Gold Element One corners using the outside cutting triangle with them. I glued them top and bottom so the tips met in the centre. I stamped my sentiment on
milk coloured card and cut it out with the smaller die from the
Adorning Squares. I inked it lightly before removing it from the die with
Antique Linen distress ink. I mounted it on the diagonal across the centre of my card. I added a double milk mat with an inner pierced layer to frame my card. I finished it off with a row of
5mm cream flatback pearls down both sides of the card and some smaller 3mm pearls to the sentiment tag. Perfect for a friend who loves all things girlie! Finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" in size.
Just a quick reminder that Julia Watts has shows today at 11am on Ideal World and 4pm on Create and Craft.
Be sure to check back tomorrow for a sneaky peek at one of my samples for my shows on Sunday! All for now. Sue x
