Wishing You A Beautiful Day

Hello crafters!  I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend!  I started today's card by simply embossing a piece of coconut white card with the Rambling Blossoms embossing folder.  Next I cut a slightly smaller piece of white card and used the Dorado Gemini Die and cut a decorative edge into each side.  While the die was still in place, I inked the area with Shaded Lilac Distress ink, doing one side, then moving the die and doing the other side.  I mounted that with foam on to the embossed background.  I cut the largest die from the Auckland die set out of white card and added it to the centre of the card.  I layered the Maggie die cut out of white and backed in white to that.  I stamped a sentiment from the Fabulous Sentiments stamp set by Creative Expressions and added a frame to it using the two circle dies in the Maggie set.  I inked them with Shaded Lilac ink then glued it to the sentiment and trimmed around the edge.  I mounted it n the centre and added white flatback pearls as accents to the die cuts.  Using my piercing ruler and a pokey tool, I added a white paper pierced mat (this is the way that I do it for all of my cards too).  I cut a slightly larger mat and inked it with Shaded Lilac to match,  then finished the card with a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  8 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
