You Made My Day

 Hello to all!  I had a little play with some of the new release dies for today's offering!  I selected a piece of decorative paper from my stash for the background.  I covered it with a piece of sticky adhesive paper and then coated it with micro beads (yes, it has been awhile and I was going through withdrawals!)  I cut two of the New York borders out of milk coloured card and glued them to the top and bottom edges of the background.  I added some 3mm and 5mm cream pearls to the edges of the borders too.  For my focal element, I cut the Copenhagen and the Stockholm dies in milk card.  I layered them up but I cut the Copenhagen in half and moved the pieces outward a bit.  I stamped my sentiment in Blue-Violet Achival ink and cut it out with the inside dies in the Copenhagen set, but using the cutting edge from the Stockholm set.  I added a mat layer from the Stockholm set as well.  I tied a messy bow out of mauve seam binding and attached it with glue dots.  I made a flower out of the Camellia open petal die set and added it over the knot in my bow.  Two matching stick pins were made and added (they look blue in the pic, but they were purplish to match.)  I finished the card with a double milk mat with an inner mat that was wider.  I used the Cosmic Shimmer Ivory PVA glue on that layer to make dots to frame the card.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  9" in size.  All for now, Sue x
