Just Because

Hi bloggers!  It does feel a bit odd not to be putting up Christmas cards on Friday, but I'm sure it will come back around soon enough! LOL   Today's card uses the Canadian Collection, starting with the background.  I cut it in coconut white card and backed it in periwinkle blue card.  I used the inside cutting die to cut it into a frame and mounted foam around the edge to raise it.  I used the die again, but this time, I simply embossed it into white card. I seated my frame over the embossed piece and added white flatback pearls to the centre of each square.  For the centre of the frame, I cut two of the Canadian Collection tags in white and crisscrossed them and turned them to form a diamond shape in the centre of the card.  I stamped my sentiment then cut it out with the inside cutting die from the tag.  I drew around the oval on to a piece of periwinkle card, then hand cut a small mat for my sentiment.  I attached them to the centre of the card with foam.  The card was completed by paper piercing a white mat, then adding a thin periwinkle mat and another final white mat.  The finished dimensions are 6" x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x
