For You

Hi crafters!  Just thought I would show off one of the stamps To Die For (STDF) that matches the Avery die.  I started with the background, however, on this one and cut the Celtic Circles out of taupe card.  I covered a piece of black card with a sticky adhesive sheet, peeled the backing paper off and attached the background die to it.  I used Black Glitterbitz on the remaining exposed adhesive for a bit of a glittery background.  Next I stamped the Avery's Cornflower STDF on to a piece of white card with a Black Archival ink pad.  I used Distress markers to colour it in. I cut it out with the matching Avery die.   I stamped it again and just coloured the flowers and cut them out by hand and mounted them above the original flowers with a bit of foam for some dimension.  I cut the Avery die two more times, once in black and once in white, using the outer decorative edge both times.  I cut the white one in half and mounted it just to the outer edges of the black one, then seated the stamped version in the centre.  I cut the For You (omitting the shadow on it) out of black card and glued it to the centre of the stamped image.  I used the Double Stitched Squares to make a multi- layered frame, with a wider base of white and a thinner black top.  I completed the card with white, taupe and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  8" in size.  all for now, Sue x
