Congratulations
Hello bloggers! I used the Decorative Squared Octagons and cut several rows into the card. I created a frame to go around it using the Double Stitched Octagons with the Decorative Squared Octagons and added an aqua card backing to both the frame and the background. I added the frame with mounting foam to raise it. I cut the Dandelion Stained Glass Circle in white to use as the focal element. On a piece of acetate, I scribbled Pearl Tints of various colours and left them to dry overnight. I glued the Dandelion circle to it then trimmed away the excess. I added it with mounting foam to the centre of the frame. I cut the Congratulations which is from the There's No Place Like Home Duo set. I cut it out of aqua card and added an offset black shadow behind it. I glued it below the frame and added pearls to the dandelions. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
