Thanks

Hello bloggers!  A bit of paper piecing for you today!  I started by embossing a piece of white card with the Bed of Roses embossing folder (because I never use that one! LOL)  Next I cut the Lattice and Lace Striplet twice in white and twice in wisteria card,  I used the white striplet as the base piece and cut a black backing piece for it using just the outer die and glued them together.  I then used the fall away pieces from the wisteria card striplet and paper pieced them back into the white striplet.  I did this for each side of the card then attached them both with mounting foam.  For the focal element, I cut the largest shape in the Lisbon in white, but used the next cutting die to create a frame.  I then backed it with wisteria card and cut the smaller die in the Lisbon set into the wisteria card and used the cutting die to create a frame in that one.  I added mounting foam to the back of it and then cut the smallest die in the Lisbon set out of a piece of white card and added the frame over it.  I backed the cut out in the centre with black. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with a small oval die and inked it with Shaded Lilac.  I cut two more ovals out of black and added them top and bottom to the sentiment to create a shadow.  I finished the card with a pierced white mat, a wisteria and black mat and a larger white mat.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  9" in size.  All for now, Sue x
