Best Wishes

 Hi guys!  Taupe, aubergine and soft gold, an unusual colour combo but I really like it together.  I stamped my sentiment from the Bold Sentiment stamp set on taupe card in the upper corner.  I used the Calabria to cut an aperture in the centre, then I cut the card on the diagonal.  I embossed the unstamped side using my Basket weave folder.  I put the pieces back together,  and taped them into place from the back, adding a border along the diagonal cut.  Using the Calabria die from the Italian collection, I cut it in soft gold card and reinserted it into the aperture.  I covered a piece of taupe card with a sticky adhesive sheet and then covered it with Diamond Sprinkles.  I glued this in place behind my aperture.  I matted the entire piece with a thin mat of aubergine card.  I cut a bunch of the Faux Quilled Blooms in taupe, milk and aubergine and assembled them, finishing with pearl centres.  I arranged the flowers around the centre of the card.  I finished the floral element with some swirls and coloured twine.  The card was completed with a double mat of taupe card with a pierced inner layer.  Finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
