For You

  Hi there crafters!  A shadowed make for today's blog card.  I cut the Cathedral Background once in coconut white card and a second time in black card, leaving a wide border margin around the edge.  I glued the black die behind the white one and slightly offset it for the shadow.  I glued it to a piece of Blue Dusk card so it showed through the cut out areas.  I cut the centre out of each of them using the smaller oval in the set.  I cut the decorative centre piece out of a piece of white card, placed a sticky adhesive sheet on the back of it and glittered the front with Diamond Snow.  I placed it behind the aperture in the frame and secure it into place.  I used the two ovals to cut a thin frame for it which I mounted up on foam.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the small oval from the Zoe set.  I matted it with blue and a black shadow and glued in the centre of the frame.  I created a seam binding flower by using the redline tape method and cut into the ribbon to create a fringed flower.  I topped it with a Black Dazzler in the centre and seated it on thin satin ribbon and tulle.  I made two matching stick pins as accents.  I pierced a white mat for it, then added a thin blue and black mat and a wider white mat layer to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  9 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
