You Are So Special

Hi crafters!  I have a striplet creation for you today!  I started with a piece of milk card and used the outer decorative cutting die from the Lotus Striplet to cut two designs into the background.  I backed it with black card, then cut the inside sections of both out to create two aperture openings.  I backed it with mounting foam to raise it for dimension.  Next I used the inside decorative die from that set and cut three pieces out of papyrus card.  I backed each of the pieces with black and added mounting foam to them. I attached each section to the card between the openings.  Next I used another piece of Papyrus card and embossed it with the Dot Matrix embossing folder for texture.  I seated the background over it and added a thin black mat.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the Pierced Flags die set, giving it a black matting.  I attached it across the card giving it a bit of a bow to the shape using mounting foam to hold it in place.  Using just the striped outline die from the Striped Nasturtiums, I created several flowers out of black card and seated them to the left end of the sentiment strip.  I cut the Family Tree out of milk card and used the leaves as accents for the flowers.  I made two matching stick pins as accents and added pearls to the striplet die areas.  I completed the card with milk, papyrus and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  8 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
