Thank You For Being There

Hello crafters!  Today's colours are Blue Dusk and white.  I started by cutting four of Joanie's Border in white.  I glued them around the edge of a piece of Blue Dusk card with each of them over lapping in the corners to create an interesting pattern.  I used both the Double Stitched Squares and the Double Pierced Squares to create a multi layered frame for the sentiment.  I cut a wider white frame Double Pierced Squares and then added a thinner outer frame cut out of the Blue Dusk card using the Double Stitched Squares on top of it.  I stamped my sentiment then added a sticky adhesive sheet over the top of it.  I peeled the backing off then added the frame over it.  I sprinkled Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on to the sticky adhesive over the sentiment for a sparkly finish.  I added the framed sentiment to the centre of the card.  I made a small flower using the extra flowers from the Magnolia Corner and used the leafy section of the die as an accent for it.  I added the flower to the lower corner of the frame with the foliage.  The card was completed with white and Blue Dusk mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  7" in size.  All for now. Sue x

Hello Sue. This is just beautiful. I love how you've used Joanie's border die and how you've given the centre dimension round today's sentiment everything fits so well together making a beautiful end result. However you're spending your day hope it's a lovely one xxx

Good Morning Sue. Beautiful card Sue. And two days in a row you have shown my favourite colour combination what a great way to end a lovely week for me. I can't believe how the border die has worked to make a totally different frame. But that's why you are number one... in my book anyway. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Kind Regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.

Fluffycat said...

Hi Sue, love the blue and white of this card. Joanie's border is so delicate that I think you lose something with the overlay but that is just me. Love the framed and glittered sentiment in the centre.

Lovely way of using the Joanne die The overall effect is beautiful

Eunice Astle said...

Such a pretty card Sue, the centre square in the card gives it so much depth!!!!!

Lisbeth said...

Hi Sue. Love the effect created on the corners when overlapping the border dies. They don't lose any of their design do they? Nice idea.

Suzzette Yandle said...

Joanie's Border looks fantastic stacked up as you have shown us here to create a different look with this die by using multiples of the die to make a frame. I love this blue with white. Hugs

Nana on the Hill said...

sued99 said...

First of all i would like to apologise for not commenting over the last few weeks.
After major spinal surgery other health problems flared up and i have been in and out of hospital and nurses coming in 3 times day. Just not had time or motivation to do anything.
I have just been catching up on the cards i have missed and every single one is totally gorgeous. I am hoping i can now try and catch up daily.
I am looking forward to seeing what is next in your fabulous card collections and videos
