Just Because

Hi bloggers!  An aqua and white creation for today's card.  I started by embossing a piece of aqua card using the Sparkle Squares embossing folder.  Next I cut the Canadian Background out of coconut white card and cut it into six smaller squares using a paper cutter.  I added mounting foam to the backs of each and added a small piece of aqua card behind each individual square.  I added all of the squares onto a larger piece of white card and spaced them apart equally.then added the piece to the aqua background.  I cut the Montreal die in white and backed it in aqua, then cut the centre out of it creating a frame.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it with the Pierced Flags die and added it across the frame.  I made a flower out of the Perfect Peony die, inked the edges with Aqua ink and sugared it with Iced Snow before adding it to the end of the flag strip.  I seated the flower on some pastel Bakers Twine and added Maidenhair fern pieces as accents.  The card was then completed with my usual pierced matting and layering.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x  8 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
