You Are In My Thoughts

Hello my crafty friends!  I hope everyone had a lovely weekend.  I demoed all day at Coleman's warehouse in Rushden and was able to meet many of the blog followers so that was great fun for me.  Today's card is one of those long skinny styles that I like (just to mix it up a bit!)  I started with a piece of periwinkle card and embossed it with my Quilted Flower embossing folder to give my background some texture.  Out of coconut white card, I cut eight of the French Collection corners.  I glued them to the background so the edges were together and they formed four half circle patterns around my card.  I cut a strip of white felt that was about an inch wide and nine inches long.  I folded it over and glued the edges together so that the strip was now nine inches by 1/2" wide.  On the folder edge, I snipped into it on an angle all the way down the length of the strip.  I kept the spacing fairly close together so I had thinner snipped pieces.  Using Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue, I ran a bead along the bottom and rolled the entire length of it to create my flower.  I seated it on a white messy bow tied from seam binding and some white tulle.  I made two stick pins to match and stick the ends under the flower into the bow.  I stamped my sentiment (from the Bold Sentiment set by Creative Expressions) on to vellum.  I cut it into a strip and tucked the end under my flower and cut the other end into a fork.  I finished the card with a white pierced mat layer, a thin periwinkle layer and a final white mat to complete my card.  The finished dimensions are 6" x  9 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
