Heartfelt Thanks

Hello crafters!  Today's card was a demo on my last Hochanda shows, but in case you didn't see it, I will take you through the steps to make it.  I cut the Swiss Background die out of wisteria card.  I added a black card backing to it and cut away the two longer sides to use as borders here.  I embossed a piece of coconut white card using the Dot Matrix Pinpoint embossing folder and added the borders to the edge with mounting foam.  I added that piece to a larger piece of coconut white card, leaving a clean unembossed edge on the outside of the borders.  For the focal element, I cut the outer die in the Geneva set out of wisteria card.  I cut the inside die from the set out of black card and glued the outer piece to it.  I added mounting foam to the centre of the die cut and around the edges where the wisteria cut was and added it to the centre of the card.  I cut a Bern die out of white and glued it horizontally across the centre. I stamped my sentiment in black and created a small wisteria and black frame for it.  I added a hint of sparkle by using Diamond Snow on the thin white frame which surrounds the sentiment.  I completed the card with white, wisteria and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x
