Best Wishes

  Hello my crafty friends!  I have combined a few dies from the last two releases to create today's very simple card.  I started with a piece of coconut white card and used the Australian Background decorative cutting dies (without the actual cutting edges) to cut a pattern into the upper part of the card.  I stamped the lower portion of the card with a sentiment from the new Elegant Sentiments clear stamp set.   I backed the cut out area with two tones of silver card.  I used a pale silver for the inside area and used a deeper silver behind it that was cut larger to encompass the remaining cut out area.  I wrapped a piece of silver ribbon that had a silver buckle slider added to it, just below the cut out area but above the sentiment.  I taped the ends to the back and added mounting foam.  As embellishments, I cut the Blushing Rose out of silver card and backed them with white card.  I added two of the to the side and accented them with leaves cut in white from the set. I comp-leted the card with a white pierced mat, both a pale silver and darker silver mat and another final white mat layer.   It makes a beautiful and fairly quick wedding or anniversary card.   The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x  9" in size.

Don't forget to check back later on this afternoon as I will be doing the drawings and posting the names of those picked for  the winning dies!!  All for now, Sue x
