Thanks For Everything

 Hello crafters!  The start of a new week and I thought I would show you a card that mixes some of my two die releases here to begin the week off right!  I started with the outer die from the Cordoba die set from my Spanish Collection to cut an aperture.  I love this die as it leaves the little holes on the aperture, not the actual die cut.  I added mounting foam on to the back of my aperture to raise it for dimension.  I placed it on to a piece of pale green card.  Next I cut a Seville die out of coconut white card and glued it down into the recess of my aperture to create a pretty backdrop for my focal element.  I stamped the Rose Bouquet stamp that matches my new French Collection using a black archival ink pad on to pale green card.  I coloured it with Distress markers and cut it out with the matching die.  I mounted it on foam in the centre of my card.  I stamped a sentiment and cut it out with the inner oval die from the Austrian tag die.  I inked it lightly with Shabby Shutters before removing it and mounted it on foam a top my stamped background diecut.  I made two roses out of peach card using my Classic Rose die set from my first release.  I inked the edges with Mustard Seed before assembling,  sugared them with Iced Snow and seated them on a messy bow tied from white seam binding.  I added some sprig from my Petite Vinery die set as embellishments.  To complete the card, I added a double white mat and used the white CosmicShimmer PVA glue to add dots around the edge for a nice frame.  The finished dimensions are 7" x 9" in size.

  Don't forget that the videos start back up tomorrow!  Hope to see you then!  All for now, Sue x
