Thinking Of You

Hi bloggers!  I'd like to share a Martha card with you today!  I started by cutting the Martha Background die in both white and black.  I offset the black one behind the white one and added a Ruby Red backing for it.  Next I used the Double Stitched Rectangles and made a multi-layered frame using a wider white base and a thin black frame on top.  I added it with foam over the background.  Next I cut the Joanie die in both white and black.  I did the same thing and shadowed the white die with the black die and added a ruby red backing to it.  I cut a small white circle frame from the Double Stitched Circle die set.  I stamped my sentiment then added the frame over it and trimmed away the excess card and added it to the centre with foam.  I added two small red flowers from the Spring Foliage die set and completed the card with white, red and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  7 3/4" in size.    All for now, Sue x

Hello Sue and all
Martha and Joanie get on really well here, love the black shadow with the red and white colours too. The background dies are great backgrounds for a fairly quick card as well.

Hi Sue. Love this card as the different die sets work so well together. There is so much detail for not so much effort. It's quite odd that I didn't particularly like the black, white and red colour combination on a previous card that you made but I think it looks absolutely stunning in this case.

Your design today is dramatic. You do shawdowing so well. When I do shadowing, it does something to my eyesite. Things seem to jump around and it's hard for me to focus. I must be doing something wrong with this technique.
