Thanks

Hi bloggers!  Today' s card was a bit of an experiment in that I wanted to see if I could use the treat cups with the hexagonal shaped centre of the Pacific Ocean Collection.  The answer is yes, with a little bit of a tweek to it!  I started by cutting the decorative die of the Bora Bora in a piece of coconut white card.  I used the inner cutting die to cut an aperture.  By nipping all the corners of the hexagon just slightly, I was able to fit the treat cup in it.  I added white micro beads to the cup and sealed it by gluing a piece of acetate over the top.  I cut the inside of the Bora Bora in both white and black card, offset them and attached them behind the treat cup.  I cut a decorative piece below the focal element (before attaching the treat cup) using the outside of the Lotus Striplet.  I backed it with Blue Dusk card.  I used the inner section of that die to cut another piece out of blue dusk card and matted it with white and attached it with foam to the centre of the decorative strip.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with an oval die and mounted it in the centre.  I made three flowers using the Striped Nasturtium die set.  I mounted them around the focal element seated on some black jute twine.  I accented them with Lace Edged Leaves.  Blue and white mats were used to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x  8 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
