Just For You

/Hi bloggers!  Today's card has a bit of an antique or vintage feel to it I think.  I started with a piece of black card and embossed it with the Jacobean Floral embossing folder.  I used the debossed side of it and went over the top of it with Enchanted Gold Gilding Polish.  I lightly sanded the top and edges to give it a more distressed look.  Next I cut four of the Striped Swirl Edger, two in milk card and two in black.  I used the black ones as shadow for the milk card.  I then used the die on milk card twice and just embossed it and used the pattern to cut around the edges to add a solid piece for both of the borders.  I added mounting foam and cut a strip of double cream pearl and added them to the straight sides.  I attached them to the outer edges of the card.  For the focal element, I cut the Mauritius die twice with the decorative and outer cutting edge, once in milk and once in black.  I offset the black die cut behind the milk one.  I added a solid milk backing and attached it in the centre of the card.  I cut the next section in milk and backed it in black and mounted it in the middle and added my sentiment cut from the oval.  Milk, gold and black mats were added to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  8 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
