Good Sunday morning all! As time is beginning to run short, here is a rather quick card for you. I selected a piece of our
shimmery navy card (I know it looks black, but it isn't. You can really see it in some of the close ups.) to use as the background. I matted it with white card and added mounting foam. Next I cut the
Starburst die in white. I cut the
Swirled Silent Night out of the same shimmery blue card and glued it to the centre. I used
vellum to make three different sized poinsettias and seated them in opposite corners. I added a thin white satin bow in the lower corner and used the sprig from the
Poinsettia Cluster die set to add white accents to both poinsettia corners. I added another wide shimmery blue card mat then finished with white and blue layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful card today especially on this special remembrance Sunday.

Lovely card Sue , the sentiment really stands out against the die. Xx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteA striking and beautiful card that seems very appropriate for Rememberance Sunday. The Starburst die creates a great background for the sentiment to stand out from. x
Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you, a beautiful card, so serene.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteA real stunner today. The Starburst Die really makes a statement all on its own but combine it with a navy background, the Silent Night sentiment, and a couple of delicate vellum poinsettia and it is quite spectacular.
Have a great Sunday.

Hello Sue, elegant and awesome. Love the dark blue and white. Bx
ReplyDeleteIt's a so elegant card and love those elegant poinsettias made with vellum!!
ReplyDeleteA stunning card today. I really like the sprigs from the Poinsettia Cluster die set. When I get this die set, I probably will use the sprigs every chance I get. The sprigs are such a great look for a "line flower". Thanks for the inspiration today and everyday.

ReplyDeleteA truly elegant and restful card, good for
today when we remember those we have lost.

A great "quickie" card that would not be as quick for me. I am behind and I have the dies so thank you for the inspiration. I like to make a lot of "special" Christmas cards for "special" people but then I make all my cards and do need some quick cards. This year, I have been making the 2017 angel my quick card. Cut in specialty paper she is a "WOW" card front and also a quick and easy one.
ReplyDeletePhill is on today and I am going to miss the live shows but will catch on Rewind.
Everyone, have a fun day!
