Good Sunday morning all! I started this card by cutting the
You're Never More Than A Thought Away die out of white card, but I used two pieces of white card under the die while cutting. The first one cuts completely, but the second one gives me and embossed picture with the outer edge only cut. I used this picture of the die and coloured the flowers and leaves using
Distress Markers. Next, I glued the cut version of the die over the coloured version of the die. I used the
Double Stitched Rectangles to make a multi-layered white frame and added it with foam over the die cut. I cut the die once more to get just the sentiment which I nipped out of the die and sponged with glue, then glittered with
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz. I glued that to the top of the die. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a stunning creation on this Mothers Day in the UK, love everything about this right down to the blitz, beautiful. Another one to my list. xx
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to our UK mums 🌺 and to those of us without our mums or 'little girls ' my thoughts are with you this morning. Next year it will be different for most.
ReplyDeleteSue I don't think your sample could be any prettier than you already made it. Those delicate pink flowers peeping through, the sparkle bouncing off your meaningful sentiment, yet again this would make the most beautiful gift mounted inside a glass fronted shadow box. This is what I was trying to say the other day to all our friends here this sentiment is perfect (I can't help being slushy its just who I am) sending much love round the Particraft world this Sunday xxx
Hello Sue, a stunning creation , so pretty , love it
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother’s Day to all Mums in the UK

ReplyDeleteThis card is lovely, and I love the technique you used. I already have the die BECAUSE I'M WORTH IT......... I am pleased you remember my motto, and I would urge all the Wilsonettes and other crafters to live by this - it makes for a much more enjoyable life..
Hugs to you all, not just the mothers..

My style of card Sue - just beautiful ! This OAP doesn't have the same time to make cards as she did a few years ago ! Caring for hubby, and household chores take so much longer .... LOL !! B ut i am DEFINITELY going to give this wonderful card a go !
ReplyDeleteBless you for your continued hard work and producing so many terrific greetings cards for us to view and be inspired by .
Love from Jersey Pauline xx
