You Are The Best

Hello bloggers!  I started this glittery card by selecting a piece of white card as the background and cutting two circular frames using the Double Stitched Circles.  I added mounting foam to the frames and attached them in opposite corners.  I used the Floral Wishes die and cut it twice out of green card to use as the bases.  Next, I cut the die again out of blue card and purple card.  I added glue to all the flowers and then used several different Polished Silk Glitters on them.  I used Canadian Blue, Light Purple, Periwinkle and Vintage Violet glitter colours. I nipped away the glittered flowers and added them on to the green base die cuts.  I moved the flowers around a bit so they weren't exactly the same in the frames.  I cut the banner with the You Are The Best Sentiment in it and nipped it away from the die and mounted it between the two frames.  I paper pieced the saying in black so it showed up better.  I added two small, glittered butterflies in the upper corner.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8 1/4"  x  9 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

  8. Hi Sue. What a lovely spring-like card for this stormy day here in the UK and it would be fairly easy to scale it down to make a smaller card.
