Every Day Is A New Adventure

 Hello crafters!  I made quite a few of samples using the All In One die collection, but this was one of my favourites!  I started by embossing a piece of white card with the Coffee Bean Flower folder.  Next I cut two sizes of the Cut Corner Rectangles and layered them on top of the embossing.  I used a piece of black card and applied the Summer Sky, Lilac Rose and Blue Wisteria Opal Polishes randomly all over it and allowed it to dry.  I cut the Every Day Is A New Adventure die out of both white and black card.  I used the black die cut as an offset shadow behind the white one.  I glued it to the opal polished background and trimmed it around the edge.  I added it to the layered background.  Using some of the left over polished card, I cut the die again and nipped away the butterflies.  I added them on top of the butterflies in the background.  I used a small piece of the card over just the largest butterfly and cut it again.  I added that butterfly in the upper corner. I added flatback pearls to all the butterfly bodies as accents.   The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8 1/4" in size.  All for now.

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another beautiful sample, the cut corners frame looks perfect on here, as does the sentiment centre. These are such terrible times for everyone so a ray of sunshine from you each day Sue is just the ticket.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Hi Sue. I can understand why you are so pleased with this card. Love the background that you have created with the opal polishes which really pops against all the different layers of white.

Stunning post - love the colours but the layering to show off the die is fab. All in one dies are so simple to use but very effective...

Hi Sue, a beautiful card and I love the colours of the opal polishes, gorgeous. A coincidence that you posted this card today as I ordered the Cut Corner Rectangles just yesterday. I had some Christmas money to spend so have got a few things but still cannot get the Leafy Forest EF from my regular supplier :-(

Good evening Sue and all.
I have been trying to access the blog on and off since before 7a.m. and have only just been successful.
I love the card and your instructions are very clear I haven't yet tried the polishes but will do so with you as my guide.
Thank you Sue.

This card is definitely at the top of my favorites too. It’s so beautiful with the gorgeous background but I especially love the framed effect you got from layering the die cuts. It has a lacy feel and the perfect sentiment. I love this card!
