Because You're In My Thoughts

 Hi crafters!  Today's card uses the Watercolour inks too, but I have used Cerulean Blue and Purple Twilight watercolour inks for this card.  I allowed it to dry well, then matted it with a thin black mat.  I cut a larger piece of white card and used the Stripes Embossing folder on it.  I added the watercolour background to the embossed card with mounting foam.  I cut the Because Die out of white and black card.  I used the black die cut a an offset shadow behind the white die cut and then glue dit to the centre of the card.  Using a small piece of leftover background, I cut three small butterflies from the Butterfly Delights die set.  I added them around the outer white background.  I stamped the rest of the sentiment and cut it out with the tag die from the set and added it in the lower corner.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi sue Sue and all blog friends. There are many reasons why this has meaning and I dont need to go over them but your sentiment dies have been worth a million thoughts and those like this still are. If you need a quick card that shows you care these are brilliant
Loving today's beautiful colours for this sample. Whatever everyone is upto today hope it's a good one xxx

Morning Sue, a beautiful and very lovely card. The stamp sentiments that go with the Big bold word dies are just perfect, and also so interchangeable between the various sets. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a beautiful colour background using the Cerulean Blue and Purple Twilight watercolour inks, a perfect backdrop to the 'Because'. I am also loving the very thin black border, shows off brilliantly, I must try this myself.

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

Good Morning Sue. So sorry I missed you yesterday I was really busy getting my line dance list ready I totally ran out of time.
The card was beautiful and I love the magnolia corners ... Oh and your beautiful background. Wow.

Today's card also is just fabulous ... And what a gorgeous colour you have created for the background. You are so clever Sue. I wouldn't know where to start with all these inks and different products you use. And what a great idea it was to bring out the big dies. Whatever you do with these dies you really make them work. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.

PLEASE KEEP STAYING SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏

Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
