Just Because

Hello bloggers!  I started by cutting three small oval frames using the Double Stitched Ovals.  I added mounting foam to the backs of the oval frames and added them to a larger piece of white card, offsetting them on the card.  I cut several of the foliage pieces from the Elegant Arrangements die set out of khaki card.  I cut three of the clay pots andhighlighted them with coloured pencils, then arranged the foliage in the three pots then added them to the frames.  I used the Just Because and the You Are So Special sentiments and cut them out of black gloss card and glued them to the top and bottom of the card.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  8"  in size.  

Just a quick note to let you know that the June Christmas die release will be starting on the blog tomorrow morning!  I hope you can join us here for that, I am really looking forward to it.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. Such a simple card but so effective. I love the smaller dies as you can make smaller cards using just one image or by using several of them you can make a larger one. Great card for both genders.
Looking forward to the new release tomorrow!
