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
Morning Sue.

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
ReplyDeleteLoving 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
