Hello there my crafty friends! I started today's card by embossing a piece of Arctic Blue card with the Graduated Dots embossing folder. Next I used the Slimline Essential Frames die and made a muli-layered frame using white card for the wider bottom base and Old Rose for the thinner top part of the frame. I used mounting foam to attach it and raise it for dimension. Next I used the Dotty Balloon die set and cut the three different balloons out of Sky Blue, Blue Dusk and Powder Pink card. I added three of the different strings to each of the balloon then added the balloons with mounting foam on to the card. I cut two of the Just Because sentiment out of Powder Pink card and stacked them then glued them to the top of the card. I completed the card with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 4 3/4" x 9 1/4" in size. All for now. Sue x
Beautiful card Sue and just because cards are always the best xx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you a lovely card.
Take care stay safe and have fu Kitty.
Beautiful. If you're reading this and haven't treated yourself to the balloon dies yet you really must, they are so versatile and beautiful to use in many ways, keep it simple with your sentiment or zooooosh it up up and away, but these slimline frames are brilliant and the more you tempt me the more I feel I need em !
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Saturday whatever your plans xx
Beautiful card Sue, love my slimline dies .

Thankyou so much Sue for everything you do for us all. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
