Thanks For Everything

 Hi bloggers!  You have to think taupe, black and red for this one as I know the pics look a bit on the pinkish side (sorry, not sure why!)  Great layout for a guy's card and I actually have two versions of this card to show you as well.  I used the New York background, cutting it in black card twice.  I left a small border around it both times.  I cut a quarter off of each of them, then reassembled them with the two larger parts to create and square background rather the rectangle of the original die shape.  I matted it on taupe card.  For the centre of the card, I used the Union die and cut it in black as the backdrop, then I cut it again in red and nipped it into four pieces which I reassembled to make a smaller square to fit inside the black centre of the original die cut.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the tag from the New York Collection and inked it with Black Soot before removing it from the die. I added cream flatback pearls as embellishments and finished it with my usual paper piercing and matting and layering.    The finished size for this one is 8 1/4" x  8 14" in size.  If you scroll all the way to the last picture, I have made the same card but without the New York Background so it is a much smaller version (about 6" x 6").  Both cards would be great for the men in our lives though I would say, wouldn't you?
