All The Best

Hi crafters!  I selected white, Cobalt blue and black for today's offering.  I cut the top layer of the Tina die into the edge of a square piece of coconut white card.  I cut it all the way around the card. Next I cut the Millie die into the centre before add my next layers onto the Tina cut outs.   Next I decided to use the black card as my middle colour for the borders and cut four of them into black card strips.  Since I wasn't sure what colours I wanted to use before I started, I added the second layer in strips behind the white (that way I was able to play with the colours a bit before deciding).  I used the Cobalt blue for the base and behind the Millie cut out area.  I made a thin frame using the Double Stitched Squares and added it with foam.  I made another frame using the Double Stitched Circles and added it with foam too.  I used the All The Best sentiment cut out of Cobalt and I added a black card shadow then put all the pieces on to the white shadow backing from the die set and added foam to it to attach it in the circle frame.  I completed the card with white, black and Cobalt mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x  8 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

  17. Hello Sue and all
    Oh Millie is so beautiful, yes just as Anne said, had to have her as soon as she was released and is such a favourite. I am still waiting to get back to my craft room, plaster is off but still very sore, lots of physio but Millie is one of the first dies I will be making a bee line for. The colours are gorgeous too.
    Thank you Sue,
    Hugs
