Thanks

Hi crafters!  We are going with a wedgewood sort of colour scheme for this one!  I started by cutting the Squared Squares into a piece of coconut white card.  Using the Double Pierced Squares, I cut some alternate frame colours for the backings using Cobalt blue on the largest one, then white then blue again.  I cut an aperture in the centre with the Caroline die.  I cut a decorative Caroline out of white and recessed it into the aperture after lifting the outer part with foam.  I cut the very centre of the Caroline out and added in the decorative part but backed with blue.  The sentiment was stamped and cut out with the oval and then mounted on foam in the middle.  I used the Petal Pocket Flowers to add three flowers around the centre and leaves as accents.  Blue and white mats and layers were used to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Good Morning Sue

Well you are just a bottomless basket of ideas aren't you? I just don't know from where you get all your inspiration! This card is lovely. The clean fresh lines of it really make it eye catching and that blue is lovely.

Enjoy your day

Morning Sue. If there is ever a 'smart' card in the vocabulary of crafting then this is it. Fresh, but the dash of blue gives it that smart appearance and take away the floral element you have a card any man would appreciate. I see in my minds eye that any colour would look gorgeous behind this die collection, either pixied, plain cardstock or 'blinged' up card, all in all if I had these dies I'd make a batch with as I've said above with lots of different coloured backgrounds which would fit in perfectly with my "no two cards the same" on my contact cards I use at market, a beautiful smart sample Sue xxx

Squaredy square-square; swirly swirl-swirl. Blue-white-blue-white, sink aperture, elevate, elevate. Flower, leaf, flower, leaf, flower.

Set it to music and you’ve got a dance as well as a card.

Really nice card.

These dies give the card quite a striking look to it with that deep blue backing. As Stephanie said lots of different colours in different mediums would change the appearance completely. Very versatile as usual Sue, thank you. (On my long wish list).
