Best Wishes

Hi bloggers!  I started today's card by embossing a piece of white card with the 3D Rose Bed embossing folder.  Next I used Baby PInk and Custard Matte Chalk Polish lightly over the top of the embossing.  I used the Trellis Edger die and cut and extended the border and glued it to the left side of the card.  Next I covered a piece of white card with a self adhesive sticky sheet and cut the Pocket Petal Flowers out of it.  I peeled the backing paper off of them and coated the flowers with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  I assembled the flowers and added a centre piece that I coloured with the two chalk polishes.  I arranged the flowers in the corner and added several white accent pieces using the Trailing Ivy, the Lace Edged Leaves and the Splendid Swirl die sets.  I cut the Best Wishes sentiment in white and black and used the black as a shadow behind.  I glued it to the upper right hand side of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now. Sue x

Hi Sue. A perfect way to put a smile on a recipient's face and make their day. If I received a beautiful piece of work like this for any reason it would be the Cherry on the cake. As far as I'm concerned it's a card and gift all in one, an envelope or box full of love.
STAY SAFE AND KEEP CARING xxx💕
