Just Because
Good Sunday morning all! I selected a piece of mint green card to use as my base. I cut the Beaded Cornice die in white four times. I glued them to the edges of the card, overlapping them in the corners. I used the Just Because sentiment which I cut in white and glued to the centre of the frame. I used the Pierced Summer Blossoms and cut them in soft peach card and made two flowers. I seated them in the lower right corner and added white leaves as accents. I cut a larger piece of white card and ran double sided tape around the edges. I used Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on it then added the main focal piece to the centre. 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
Oh Sue this is the most beautiful design, it looks like the most delicate of blue, everything except the flowers looks like a duck egg blue but no matter what colour you chose, it's absolutely gorgeous and I have to add the beaded cornice die to my never ending list of dies I'd like to own. Have a good day, love to all on this day we remember of thanks for those we lost, and are still losing in battle xx 🥀
Hello Sue This is a beautiful card I love so many of your dies I find it hard to chose which ones. Jean it is so lovely to hear Erin is improving. Take care everyone x
A stunning card this morning. Love the frame die and the delicate blue you have used. The flowers are beautiful too and the colour also a delicate pink.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, Wow this is so pretty, the close up's of the sample show how detailed the dies are and I am thankful that I have them too. Love the colour choice and the blitz too.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue. Such a pretty card today using those dainty border dies. I would love to see it in real life to see the colours because you have said you used green but on my laptop it looks as though you have used several shades of blue!
Good Morning Sue. I agree with everyone this morning. This is beautiful. And STELLA you are right ... We dont need a reason or an occasion to send a card like this to someone who is in our thoughts. Especially to Jean this morning. Hope Wednesday brings you ... your granddaughter and all your family the news you want to hear.3 Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds. Please stay safe and well 🙏
Hi Sue, a beautiful and serene card which I love. The Beaded Cornice die is so pretty and delicate and just cries out for the addition of tiny pearls as you have done here.
Hi Sue A beautiful card, loving the pierced flowers in the soft peach and the beaded cornice makes a lovely frame for the sentiment. Jean P, good to hear your granddaughter is improving and hope Wednesday brings you more good news

Hi Sue Happy Sunday everyone x Just because - the sentiment to cover any occasion. I don’t think the pictures are showing the true colour of this card because it definitely looks more duck egg blue than mint green. That doesn’t matter at all because todays card is a beauty. Jean - glad your granddaughter is feeling a little brighter x Take care one and all x Sending you all positive thoughts x Crafty hugs x PP Yvonne x
