Thinking Of You

Good Sunday morning all!  It's a celtic kind of Sunday morning I think! LOL  I started with a piece of our merlot card as the background and selected Slate Grey to go with it.  I cut the Erin die out of the slate grey card twice.  I cut them in half and glued them to the Merlot card with the centres touching and the cut side forming the outer edge.  Next I used the Double Stitched Squares to make a multi layered frame with a white base and a thinner Slate Grey frame on the top inside.  I added it with foam over the background.  Next I cut two more of the Erin die, one out of white and one out of black.  I used the black die as an offset shadow behind the white one and attached it in the centre of the card.  I cut two small circles, one black, one white as a base for the sentiment.  I added the Thinking of You sentiment cut in grey with a black shadow to the centre of the card.  The card was completed with white, grey and merlot mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x

    Perfect card for those men in our lives but a couple of tweaks and the whole look could be a girl friendly card! And for any occasion. The Celtic dies are so versatile. Who am I trying to kid??!! All your dies are versatile! Lol.
    Didn’t get back til late last night from Bath so apologies for no comment yesterday.
    The weather here is looking rather wonderful and the birds are singing with great enthusiasm!!
    Happy Sunday everyone

  13. Hello Sue,

    The dies from the Celtic Collection are perfect when you want to create a card that is universal. All you need to do is change the colors to fit your needs. Today's card is perfect for the men who need a card.

    Have a great day.

  38. Hi Sue. What a really unusual colour choice for you today, love it. Great idea to cut the die cut in half to use it as a background. This would make a really great design for tiles.

    Afternoon Sue, your dies are so versatile and adaptable. I do like the Merlot card and I'm quite partial to the odd glass or 2 of Merlot wine too. lol
    I Don't have many Celtic dies but they definitely make great cards for men. Like the colour choice too. Hugs xx
