Hello Dear Friend

Hi crafters!  Using the Ric Rac Ribbon Background, I cut it out of Periwinkle card.  I backed it with black card then cut the background into three strips.  I added mounting foam to the back then attached the strips to a piece of white card.  I cut a circular white frame using the Double Stitched Circles, the added it to the centre of the card with foam.  I used the Petite Forget Me Nots die set and made two flowers using Periwinkle card.  I added a small black centre and pearls and attached them to the side of the circular frame.  I used the Lace Edged Leaves  die set in white as accents for the flowers.  For the sentiment, I cut the Hello Dear Friend sentiment out of white and black card.  I used the black die cut as an offset shadow behind the white one and glued it to the centre of the frame.  The card was completed with white, periwinkle and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  X  6 1/2"  in size.   All for now, Sue x

  1. Clean, fresh and absolutely beautiful, a design to suite many occasions with a change of sentiment and colour to suite.
    So, no more serene fields to look out on, no cows mooing or pretty sheep bleating, but idiots racing up and down the road and noise that feels amplified after 4 days of peace and quiet..... but I have my security blanket of tools, cardstock and dies and daily inspiration that changes every day from wild inviting beach shirts lol to the beauty of flowers etc that part of my world I wouldn't change - thanks sue for bringing sanity into my life for 10yrs plus xxx

  4. Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a smasher today, I love the ric rac die set because of the different ways you can use it especially with different colours behind it. I especially like the sentiment on here, - this is the kind of thing you would send to a friend, just to let them know you are thinking of them, gorgeous.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

  20. Hi Sue, I love the periwinkle blue, the triple panels and the forget-me-nots but something is just not sitting right for me - maybe I have the wrong glasses on lol and I am sure I would love it IRL.

  34. Hi Sue and everyone a beautiful card in a very pretty colour. I normally get bored of blues but they are really singing to me at the moment. Funny how different colours appeal at different times in your life.
    Maybe im enjoying the calmness it brings. Lol anyway im just waffling so I will continue my catch up.


    Does anyone know how I get my email notifications back ?
