Hello there my crafty friends!  Silver and milk card for today's offering.  I like this combo as the milk card gives it just a bit of a soft vintage feel.  I started by double cutting the Seychelles decorative die horizontally into a piece of milk card.  The dies slightly over lap in the centre but that part will be covered so not to worry.  I backed it with silver card to show through the decorative cut out areas.  Next I cut the edger from the Blossom Edger set in silver and backed it with milk card.  It did need to be extended on both of them, but it lines up quite easily to do this.  I glued these to the top and bottom edge of the card.  Next I cut another Seychelles die out of milk card, backed it with silver then cut the inside out to create a frame.  I stamped my sentiment and embossed it in silver then covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet. I peeled the backing off then attached the frame over it before sprinkling Diamond Snow on the exposed adhesive.  I mounting this piece vertically in the centre of the card.  I created three flowers using the Exquisite Poppies die set, edged them with a silver paint pen then attached the around the sentiment.  I accented the larger flower with cream tulle and Olive Branches.  Milk and silver mats and layers were added to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x  7 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
