Hi crafters! It's an offset squares card for today's offering. I started with a piece of coconut white card as a base. I used the Squared Squares to cut three frames out of various shades of purple in different sizes. I offset all the squares so they lined up at the left side of the card and glued them into place, I cut a wide stitched flag and added the Thanks sentiment to it. I made a fancy flower using the Starlight Daisy and seated it at the end of the flag. I accented it with leaves and curly ferns sprigs. White and Lilac mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue.
Thank you a brilliant card.
Thank you and your Angels for all the great weekend shows.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Beautiful card Sue love the colours and the setting is great
GM Sue. Great card. The squares are a fave.
Hi Sue. Brilliant idea to give to a chappie, remove the floral design use any colours that tickle your fancy and there you go, one male card for any occasion ☺ sorted.
Is there any wonder Julia has the Queen of Background title she rocked her embossing shows, but im just wondering if the team will continue to use their 'ink names' plus I'd love to sniff Phill too, he always gives the impression he'd smell really good lol you guys have all the fun, any chance of it been bottled lol. A great sample and a great weekend thanks so much xxx
Good Morning Sue and all
Such a brilliant card this morning you have created from Squared squares . The colours work beautifully together and the of setting to the left works beautifully.

Hi Sue, a beautiful card. Lovely colours and a gorgeous flora spray.
Love the geometric look of this card and the colours are great. Thank you Sue.
Love the offset squares, adds more interest to the card than just simple layering :) Not finding the flower and sprigs totally necessary though but that's just me, I know most others love them :)
Hi Sue this is a stunning card I just love it. The dies are just amazing. Take care. Hugs Jackie

Hi Sue,
I love the Squared Squares with the ombre effect.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Sue, a lovely card and the squared squares look great layered up in this way and I love the choice of colours. The Starlight Daisy perfectly reflects the open feel of the squares.

Hello Sue, Gorgeous card, love the square dies and the way you have set them out on the cards.
Hope you’re having a good day, hugs Brenda XXX
Refreshing!
This card makes a big impact using what isn’t there, in both the flowers and the frames.
Ombrés never appeal to me, but this is a spectacular way to move through the intensities of a color.
Donita
Such a great use of the squared squares. A very dramatic effect. Love these flowers.
Hi Sue
Great card. I toyed with burying the frames die, but others seeed to scream buy me first, so I don’t have it yet. Looks great in those colours.
Love Helen xx

Love the graduated purples and the offset squares that make this card different and beautiful. I don't have the Starlight Daisy but I can use any flower from your impresive Finishing Touches Collection that I have.Thanks for the inspiration.
Hugs from Toronto,

Gorgeous card. Love the colours.
What a striking way of using the frame die - just love it!
Beautiful card. I have these dies but I really haven't used them enough xx
Hi SUE
I think this is a very fantastic way of using these squared squares and in my favourite colours I love it like these dies
OWLISH Xx
Nice card Sue though I am not a big fan of the squared squares. I much prefer the look of your stitched or pierced edges - just an old fashioned girl I guess and these are too modern for me lol.
Hugs Helen xx
