Thinking Of You

Hi bloggers!  It's back to Anna today!  I started by cutting the Anna die in white and then cutting it into four pieces (half, then half again so all the corners were intact).  I glued each of the four corners into the corners of a piece of coconut white card.  Next I cut the Anna die in white, Arctic Blue, Sky Blue, Bluebell card.  I crisscrossed the white and sky blue and crisscrossed the Bluebell and Arctic blue die cuts.  Next I offset the two crisscrossed dies so that you can see all the corners of all four colours.  I added it to a piece of coconut white card that I matted with Bluebell and black.  I added it with foam on to the background so that just the four white corners showed.  I used the Double Stitched Circles to cut a base for my sentiment.  I layered up the Thinking Of You cut in bluebell with a black shadow, then added to the white shadow from the die set.  I glued it into place in the centre of the card, then completed the card with white, Bluebell and black mats  and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x

    Hi Sue you've given us yet again another piece of gorgeous inspiration made with just one die set, if that's not versatility then what is? As for the mini sentiment we think of you so much when its been so long since we've enjoyed watching you on our tv screen.
    Hope Independence Day celebrations made for a wonderful day xxx

    A beautiful Sue Wilson card again today. No one creates so much magic from one die except you.You are definitely a Master of your art and are willing to share. The blue and white cards that you create are my favourites although I appreciate all the others.
