You Are Simply The Best Ever

Hi crafters!  I started this card by cutting the Martha Background out of a piece of white and black card.  I used the black card as a shadow behind it.  Using the Martha Edgers, I cut the background into three sections.  I added a teal backing to the centre section, using the edgers to cut it to match.  I added two border strips to the top of the section in aqua using the matching edgers.  I added white backing pieces to the sides using the edgers to cut them to match.  Next I used a piece of aqua card and laid out the sections spread apart a bit and lined up the dotty zigzag edger from the Matha Edger set to cut a decorative pattern into the area between the sections.  Once cut, I glued all the segments into place and added a teal backing to show through the dotty edger.  For the sentiment strip, I used one of the Martha Edgers to cut into the strip on the top and bottom.  I added a teal backing to it.  I cut the You Are Simply The Best Ever sentiment out of teal card and added a black shadow, then glued it onto the strip.  I added the strip across the background with foam, then made a white frame using the Double Stitched Rectangles and hid the edges under edge of the frame.  I stamped the Jasmine Flowers in black on to aqua card and cut them out with the matching Jasmine dies.  I added Peacock Feathers Distress ink to the edges and added them to the ends of the sentiment strip.  The Magnolia Corner die was cut in white and nipped apart and used as accents around the flowers.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue and all that pop in. This sample immediately looks so complicated and looks like you spent hours and hours on it, at the same time it looks amazing. Like people have said in the past and will continue to say, you are the leader of designing dies no-one will ever take that from you no matter how hard they try. Thanks for a week of beauty and inspiration for tips and ideas. Looking forward to next week too. Take care STAY SAFE KEEP CARING xxx 💖

Hi Sue, I love teal and aqua it is one of my favourite combinations. I also love Martha (it is the one I have) but for me the overall impression is a little busy although I would probably change my mind if I saw it in real life :-). I still think that You Are The Best though.
