Thank You

 Hi guys!  I am setting up for the Ally Pally show in London today but I have scheduled all the posts for the weekend so not to worry.  I may not be able to get to emails until I return though so please be patient until Monday.  Today's card features the Floral Lace background stamped with a Clear Perfect Medium pad and white heat embossed on periwinkle card.  So simple, but so striking!  I matted it with a white and a black mat to really frame it.  I tied white seam binding around opposite corners and tied a messy bow and added a black crystal sparkler.  I made a couple of stick pins using matching beads from my crafty stash.  For the focal element, I decided to pull out a new die called Divine Eloquence and I cut one in white and in black and offset them so it looked like a shadow.  This formed the back layer of my focal element.  I stamped the tag from the Stitched Flowers set in black and added my sentiment in the middle.  I covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet and die cut it with the matching Vintage Tag die from Just Rite.  I peeled the backing off and covered it with Iced Snow.  I cut another tag in black and split it in half and used it as a shadow as well.  I mounted it in the centre of my card to complete the focal element.  I finished the card with a white pierced mat and a thin periwinkle mat before adding a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are 6" x 7 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
