Hi bloggers! I started today's card by cutting the
Decorative Squared Octagons into the card using five of the dies all together. I used the
Double Stitched Octagons to cut an aperture in the centre of it. I cut the same aperture in the centre of a piece of black card, then used it as a backing behind the squared octagons. I made a thin frame using the
Double Stitched Octagons and raised it with mounting foam and added it to the outside of the aperture. I used the
Geo Trellis Embossing Folder and embossed a piece of white card and added it behind the aperture for texture. I cut the
Belated Birthday Wishes sentiment in black and glued it to the inside of the frame. Using the
Floral Bouquet die set, I cut three flowers of differing colours and added them to the left side of the aperture. I used varying shades of green and added leaves as accents to them. Th card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2' x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue, a lovely card today, has a totally unique feel with the pattern of the die cutting. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx

ReplyDeleteMy first post above made no sence whatsoever so I'll just say... gorgeous. If I had a belated card as gorgeous as this, who am I to mind it's well worth waiting for.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue. How clever this is. This card would be great for those difficult men (without the flowers) but, equally pretty for making a card for a lady.

ReplyDeleteA very modern looking card with a lovely font on sentiment. Yvonne xx
Good Morning Sue. What a lovely colourful card to start off my morning. It looks so cheery and would brighten everyone's day. I love the squared decorative octogon. It a beautiful card ... but personally I would have used another flower die ... no offence intended Sue it's just my opinion and I know that others will love them. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
