Hi Bloggers! I started today's card using a piece of
Silver Sparkle Yupo Paper. I used Patina alcohol ink on it then added some blending solution to move the colour around a bit. Next, I used the
Double Stitched Rectangles and cut two frames out of the centre of the card. I added mounting foam to the backs of the two frames, then added the original card to another piece of card, giving the background and up and down look to it. I cut the
Hello Shadowed die/stamp combo out of white, added an offset black shadow then glued it to the white shadow backing and added it across the centre of the card. I stamped the Sweet Friend sentiment and cut it out with the tag die. I added it below with mounting foam. Using the
Button Flower set, I created a single stalk with multiple flower heads and buds. I used
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz to give the flowers a bit of bling, then added it to the lower left corner of the card. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue.

Hi Sue what a lovely way to show your friends how much they mean to you. I've found some lovely blog friends here although only via blog posts you get a sense that people care and worry about each other, sometimes you get it right sometimes it just isn't what you first thought, but the feeling I get is that you bought a lot of friendships together here and it's a lovely feeling to see the same blog friends here daily. You have celebrated friendship beautifully with today's inspiration, we have a lot to thank you for Sue for bringing our little daily group together.
ReplyDeleteHave a day of laughter and stay well everyone xxx
Love this card Sue, stunningly beautiful background xx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a stunning sample today with that gorgeous bluish colour and white, amazing how you can achieve that. I do love your choice of sentiment with the small stamped word at the bottom, says it all doesn't it.

Hello Sue, a fabulous card, so elegant.
ReplyDeleteKitty, I remember this card from the April die release and I am pleased that Sue has shared the technique as at the time I thought it might have been a pixie sparkle used to create the background. Thank you Sue for sharing.

Good Morning Sue. Ohhh WOW what a beautiful background for this mornings card. The colour is just fabulous ... I really must get round to using the alcohol inks ... But ... you keep on bringing new ideas that I want to try them all out ... And then I forget which ones I have seen. I think these are called senior moments 😂 . Well ... I don't think I will forget this colour for a while. A beautiful work of art. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
