Thanks Ever So Much

Hello bloggers!  I thought I would show a sample from the shows on the weekend.  This card shows off the lovely Scandinavian Collection so nicely.  I started with a piece of coconut white card and embossed the background with the new Pinpoint folder called Beaded Fanfare.  I just love the swags of pinpoints on this one!  I cut the bottom edge with scissors following the design to give it a scalloped look.  I covered a piece of periwinkle card with a sticky adhesive sheet and peeled the backing paper off and coated it with Diamond Snow.  I glued this to the bottom of my embossed background so it was peeking out underneath.  Using some of the Bluebird Satin ribbon, I wrapped a piece around and taped the ends to the back, then formed a looped bow in the centre.  For the focal element, I cut the Copenhagen die in white and nipped it in half.  Then I cut the Stockholm die in white and backed it with a solid piece cut from periwinkle card.  I taped the cut die to the edge so it showed out the sides for a little bit of detail.  I stamped my sentiment, then cut a pretty circle to frame it from my Italian Collection Decorative frames set.  I cut a tag from the Scandinavian collection and nipped it in half to make it smaller then mounted it behind the sentiment frame.  The card was completed by paper piercing the edge, adding a thin periwinkle card mat and a wider white mat.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  8 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
