Sending Big Hugs
Hello there my crafty friends! I selected a white background and cut the scalloped border from the Decorative Border die set. I cut one out of teal and the other one out of Ocean coloured card. I glued them diagonally facing each other on a piece of sticky adhesive sheet. I glittered it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz the added them across the card. I used the Pierced Summer Blossom die set cut out of Raspberry card and I assembled three flowers. I seated them under the border and added white leaves and the used the Bauble Branch die cut in white as an accent. I cut the Noble Sending Big Hugs in black and added it to the white shadow backing die cut in white. I added the sentiment using mounting foam to the top of the card. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue. Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving yesterday and the same love goes to our dear American friends here. You have treated us to your new stitched flowers this morning and because you've cut them in red my first thought was that they would make a stunning memorial card, even a memorial wreath, it's a lovely way to start the day, and when I can't start my day with your beautiful blog it just doesn't feel the same. Hope everyone feels OK today, love to June Horrock, hope you're feeling a little better xxx
Good morning Sue and all. A lovely card and those flowers are great. The card looks quite versatile which is wonderful in these troubled times Hope you are feeling better June I'll add you to my list. Love to all. Marie P.
Morning Sue, I do like your pierced flowers with the white branches alongside. A really pretty card. Have a lovely crafting weekend everyone! Crafty Hugs, Pauline x
Good morning Sue, A beautiful card that would suit many occasions. I love your flowers as they always look so realistic & your sentiments are always so beautiful scripted. Yvonne xx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a wonderful creation today, love the colour combinations and of course the glitter blitz. This design of card is great for using offcuts of left over card, great idea.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good morning Sue. Wow. What a lovely start to my morning. So bright and cheery and something that we all need from time to time " A Big Hug ". I just love your new stuff. But this is what we have come to expect from such a talented lady. Thankyou so much 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 Thank you for such a lovely card today, I was extremely lucky to win your decorative borders and it’s wonderful to see how you’ve used them. Sending a big hug back to you.
Hi Sue, a slightly unusual card but I like it. The red Summer Blossoms are so pretty and I should remember to use my Bauble Branch with flowers more often.
June H - I hope you are improving and feeling better every day.
A lovely design and a beautiful color combination. I love the Summer Blossoms set in any color. The pierced detail on these adorable flowers really make them stand out.
Hugs from Toronto to you all. Stay safe and healthy. Carmen-Dorothy
