Anything For You

Hi crafters!  Think purple and a deeper sort of aubergine colour for today's card.  I started by cutting the Pavo die in opposite ends of a piece of coconut white card.  I used just the outer cutting edge with the decorative insert to do this.  I selected a piece of deep aubergine card (from my stash) and cut a backing piece to go beneath the edges, using just the Pavo cutting edges to do so.  I added mounting foam to the back and added it over another larger piece of white card where I attached a strip of double sided adhesive paper to each end.  I peeled the backing paper off and coated the strips with Iced Snow to add some sparkle to the edges.  For the focal element, I cut the Sintra die in white and backed it with a solid white piece.  I cut two of the Portuguese corners and attached them to the ends of the Sintra die and placed the entire piece in the centre of the card.  Next, I stamped my sentiment and cut it with the Lisbon die on the outside and the inner Sintra die around it, leaving it in the die and inked over the top with Dusty Concord to stencil some colour on to them.  I added this piece to the centre of the card with mounting foam.  I completed the card with a white pierced mat, a thin aubergine mat and a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x
