Birthday Wishes

Hi crafters!  First off, I do apologise for the shadowed photos.  I have really been struggling taking pictures in the winter lighting.  This card has been made with wisteria and white card so hopefully with that in mind, you can enjoy the card (no matter what colour it ends up looking like on your monitor! LOL)  I started this card by cutting the Belgian Background in wisteria card and backing it in white.  I cut it in half and then put the two ends together and nipped out about an inch more of it, reassembled it so I had a square (more or less).  I cut another square out of coconut white card and added the four white outside corners from the Belgian Collection.  I added the square background in a diamond orientation on top of it.  I stamped my sentiment in black on white card and used the inner cutting dies from the Bruges and Brussels die sets to cut a thin frame.  I sprayed it with glue and coated it with Diamond Snow.  I glued it over my sentiment and trimmed away the excess card.  I cut the inner decorative die from the Bruges set to seat it on and added the decorative die from the Antwerp cut in half to the top and bottom.  I added it to the centre of the background and accented it with several small Exquisite poppy dies inked with Chic Viola.  I cut a larger square of white card and ran double sided tape around the edge and coated it with Diamond Sprinkles and added the topper to that.  The card was completed with white and wisteria mats and layers including my usual pierced top layer.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  7" in size.

As promised, the winner of the 2016 Orphan cards is:

Lorraine Eastwood!!!
