Hello Friend

Hello crafters!  I started by cutting both ends of a piece of coconut white card with the Aquila Gemini die.  Next I used the Magnolia Adornment outer cutting edge to cut an aperture.  This had to be cut in two sections since the die is a sort of half circle shape.  I just lined up the straight side from the first cut with the second cut to do this.  Next I used the cut out pieces from the aperture to cut the decorative portion of the die.  I added mounting foam to the back of the aperture piece to raise it for dimension.  I cut a piece of Vintage Silver card just slightly longer than my aperture and embossed it with the Bed of Roses embossing folder for texture.  I mounted the aperture over it then added white pearl strips to both of the ends as accents.  I recessed the Magnolia Adornment cut outs into the aperture and glued them into place.  I cut two each of the Pierced Flag die in both white and silver and matted them, then put them end to end in the centre of the card.  I stamped my sentiment from the Lavish Petite Sentiment set and cut it out with the circle die from the New Zealand Tag, then added it to an Australian Tag which I cut in silver.  The card was matted and layered in white and silver to complete it.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x  9 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
