Hello Dear Friend

Hello bloggers!  I selected a piece of Blue Dusk card and used the Theresa  Edger set to cut multiple borders on both sides of the card.  I backed the borders with black card, then added the entire card to a larger piece of Sky  Blue card.  For the focal element, I cut a multi-layered frame using the Double Stitched Circles.  I cut a larger white frame and a smaller Sky Blue frame on top.  I cut the Cecilia die out of Blue Dusk card and added a white backing to it.  I added the circle frames over it and attached it to the centre of the card.  Using the Hello Dear Friend sentiment, I cut it out of white and black.  I shadowed the white one and glued it inside the frame.  I cut the Whirligig Flowers out of white card with a piece of sticky adhesive sheet attached.  I glittered the flowers then assembled them and seated them around the frame.  I added Lace Edged Leaves in white as accents.  The card was completed using white, blue dusk and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8 1/2" in size.  All for now. Sue x

Hi Sue and Parti- holics this is lovely the various shades of blue are soooooo pretty then the pop of black - yum. I should have started my comment with this is for our family that pop in but as I didn't put this design together I feel it would have been theft lol.
I opened my/ your adjustable border yesterday for the first time the snowflake and I've confused myself no end Sue, so many ways so many designs 3 different sizes, which do I choose - ahhhhhh, thanks Sue thought we were blog friends lol another day another design...... where's my penguins I'm going back to the little people festive cards still have 3 children's cards to make. Whatever everyone's plans I hope you find a happy place today xxx

Morning Sue,
Another beautiful card. Thank you Sue! I do like your sentiment and the way in which you have used black, to shadow it. When I try this, I end up with glue everywhere.
