You Are So Special

Good Sunday morning all!  For my American blog friends, Happy Mother's Day too!  I know this card is tailored more for the UK market, but I was fresh out of Mom cards to share.  I did really like this one so thought it ought to have it's day on the blog, I hope you don't mind!  I started with the background and cut three of the Meandering Twig die in white and glued them onto another piece of white card.  I used white PVA glue and added dots to all the ends on the Meandering Twig die cuts to give the background real texture.  Next I cut the Mom die and nipped the top of the "O" off and made it into a "U".  I added a piece of sticky adhesive sheet to a piece of card and gilded it with Gemstones Gilding Flakes then cut the solid letters out of it and used them to back the decorative letters.  I mounted the letters diagonally across the card with foam to raise them.  I stamped the sentiment in black on a larger piece of white card then covered it with a strip of sticky adhesive sheet and peeled the backing off.  I coated it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  I added the background above it and cut some Passion Flowers to add to the opposite corners, using a bit of the extra gilded sheet to cut the centres.  The largest flower was seated on a white satin ribbon bow and I added leaves to all the flowers as accents. I completed the card with white on white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x  7 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
