Thank You

 Hello crafters!  I used the Leafy Rectangle for today's card.  I cut it twice out of white card.  I cut off the long sides on both of the die cuts.  I glued them to a piece of white card to create a large square with them.  I used the Double Stitched Squares and cut two frames.  One frame that was larger to fit over the edges of the cut Leafy Rectangle and the other one a smaller square to go in the centre of the card.  I attached both frames with mounting foam.  I used the extra die with the leaves on it and cut it in three colours; rust, custard, deep red and green.  I selected all the large Sycamore leaves and added Cosmic Lacquer to them and set them aside to dry overnight.  Once dry, I added them to the smaller frame's edge.  I cut the Thank You Block sentiment in deep red and shadowed it in black then added the Thank You sentiment to the centre of the frame.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  7 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue,

A beautiful card. The colours are so pretty and I can see many changes of colour would also work. The colours you have used are quite autumnal and suitable for this time of year. Lovely background too.
