Fabulous Day

 Good Sunday morning all!  Today's card is a bit of an ombre sort, as I am quite taken with that trend.  I have seen it absolutely everywhere of late and I think it is especially pretty in cards.  I started the card by cutting the Intertwining Circle Striplet without the outside cutting edge three times in a piece of coconut white card to create the background.  I selected three varying shades of aqua coloured card (from my leftover stash box).  This is a great card to use up some of those smaller bits you have.  I cut three strips and covered each one with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled the backing paper off and placed them behind each of the striplets in order from lightest to darkest.  Next I coated them with Diamond Snow from the front of the background piece so all of the exposed adhesive caught the glitter.  I used the Double Pierced Noble Squares (both sets) to create a layered frame with white and aqua card and placed it over the background.  I used the Grace die to cut a decorative frame and backed it in white and seated it over a stamped sentiment, then attached it in the centre of the card.  I used the same three shades of aqua card to cut some small flowers from the Orange Blossom complete petal set.  I glued them around my sentiment as a small accent.  I completed the card in my usual pierced matting and layering.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x  7 3/4" in size.
   Just a quick reminder that I will be doing the drawings for the winning dies tomorrow morning, then posting the winners in a separate post in the afternoon.  There is still time to add any comments to posts you may have missed if you do it before Monday morning!  Don't forget to check back in the afternoon too, to see if your name has been drawn!  All for now, Sue x
