Fabulous Day

 Hi crafters!  Today's offering shows the Portuguese Background done in a slightly different manner.  I started by cutting the outside of the background die in white, leaving a wide border around it.  I backed it with Sky Blue card and added mounting foam to the back of it to raise it for dimension.  I cut two of the inner die from the Portuguese Background die set out of white card and crisscrossed them, then set them on an angel with mounting foam.  I stamped my sentiment using a Black Archival ink pad on coconut white card, then cut a frame from the Lisbon die set out of Sky Blue card.  I backed it in white.  I cut two of the Portuguese tags in white and added the to the sides of the tag so they were peeking out the edge, but just framing the sentiment on the inside. I centred my sentiment inside the tag edges on the frame then attached the frame and trimmed away the excess card around the bottom of the frame.   I added the frame to the centre of the card with a few white flatback pearls to embellish.   I added a set of  white and blue mats then finished with a pierced mat, thin blue mat layer and a final white mat. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x  8 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
