Wonderful Gift

Hi bloggers!  A mixture of Scandinavian and New York collection for today's blog card.  I started with a piece of aqua card and embossed it with the Climbing vines embossing folder for texture.  I added a bottom piece of coconut white card that was cut on the diagonal and then scored.  I cut a New York border in white and glued it across the diagonal and added flatback pearls to it.  The Copenhagen die was cut in black as a backdrop for my focal element.  I stamped the Honey Flower stamp in black and cut it out with the matching die in the Stockholm die set.  I inked it with Aqua Adirondack before removing it from the die and added it to the focal element with mounting foam.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the oval die from the centre of the Scandinavian Background.  I cut a New York tag and attached my sentiment to it, then mounted it to the top of my card, slightly overlapping my focal element.  I tied a white seam binding messy bow, added a black jute bow to it and topped it with an aqua and white Camellia flower.  I pierced a white mat to frame it, then added a thin aqua card and thin black card mat and a final white mat layer to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x  8 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
