Thank You

 Hello my crafty friends!  Today's card was supposed to have been a demo from the first two hour show, but I just didn't get that far!  So I thought I would just share it here with you now.  I started by simply embossing a piece of coconut white card with the Jacobean Embossing folder for some background texture.  Next I cut the Belgian tags in white, cutting two of one style (shown on the sides) and one of the other style.  I selected a length of green and white striped grosgrain ribbon and wove it through the sides of the first tag (there is a nice open spot just for this purpose), then through the smaller area on the other style tag, then finally back through the same area on the first style tag.  I added a bit of foam to all three tags and attached them to the background, then tucked the ends of the ribbon on to the back of the embossed background.  Next I cut the Bruges die out out white,  cut a backing in white and glued them together.  I used the inside cutting die to cut an aperture and added foam to the back.  I placed it over the centre tag in a vertical fashion, pulling the tips of the tag upward so they sort of were clipped into place.  Next I stamped my sentiment from the Petite Lavish Sentiments three times on to white card.  I cut two of them out with the inside from the matching tag that they were to be placed upon and the third one from the inside of the other tag style.  I inked them very lightly with Colour Cloud ink (Basil Leaf)and mounted them on to the tag centres.  I added a strip of white pearls to the upper and lower edges of the card as accents.  I completed the card by paper piercing a white mat and finished with a slightly larger white mat.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x  8 1/2" in size.

I will be doing the drawings for the winning Festive dies, so please don't forget to check back later in the day to see if your name is posted on the winners list!!   All for now, Sue x
