Thinking Of You

Good Sunday morning all!  I started by cutting the Canadian Background out of milk card.  I left a wide border around it and added some paper piercing to it. Next I used the inner shape from the Porto die to cut an aperture in the centre of the background before putting mounting foam on the back to raise it for dimension.  I cut two of the Elegant Lace Edgers and added them into the sides of the aperture for a little extra detail.  I selected Duck Egg blue card and backed it so that the blue showed through the cut out areas in the Canadian Background.  I added 3mm cream flatback pearls to the centres of all the decorative squares in the background.  I cut two thin frames using the inner shapes from the Portuguese collection, one in milk and one in duck egg blue.  I added some thin pieces of mounting foam and raised the frame up and placed it around the opening of the aperture.  Next I stamped Phill Martin's Decadent Damask Occasion Sayings in black on milk card and covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I coated it with Diamond Snow for extra shimmer, then mounted behind my centre framed aperture.  I made two felt flowers using the Diagonal Foldover Flower die set and seated them on a piece of cream tulle.  I added Splendid Swirls and Mosaic Leaves around the flowers as accents.  I completed the card with more paper piercing of a milk card mat, a thin duck egg blue mat and one more milk mat layer.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 3/4" in size.
