So Glad You Are My Friend

Hello there my crafty friends!  It has been absolutely ages since I did an all white card!  I just felt the need to sit down and make one recently so I hope you like it.  I admit that I have shied away from them because my photographic skills (or rather lack there of) have not been able to do them justice. I was relatively pleased that you can see the detail in these pics so I decided to go ahead and post it.  I started by cutting an aperture with the Fiji die in the upper portion of a piece of coconut white card.  I embossed the card with the Jacobean Floral embossing folder to add texture.  I added a layer of mounting foam to the back to raise it.  Next I cut the decorative die from the Fiji using the centre hexagon to cut another aperture in another piece of coconut white, then centred it behind the first aperture and trimmed the edges to match.  I stamped my sentiment in Black Archival ink and centred it in the aperture in the Fiji and added it with mounting foam.  I made several different styles of flowers using the Striped Nasturtium and the Beaded Starflower and seated them diagonally across the card.  I accented the flowers with leafy bits cut from the top of the Family Tree die.  The card was completed with a white on white pierced mat layer.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x  8 1/4" in size.

I do apologise that I haven't gotten to the blog candy drawing as we have hit our goal (and surpassed it even!)   I will try to get it posted up on the blog for later on this afternoon so please check back to see if your name has been drawn.  All for now, Sue x
