Sending Hugs
Hi bloggers! I started by cutting the Wrapped Pearl Frame in custard. I used the outer cutting die to cut a shadow in white. I glued the frame and shadow on to a piece of black card. I cut the Sending Hugs sentiment out f white and custard card. I glued the white "Sending" and the custard "Hugs" with a white shadow into the top left corner of the frame. I cut a Wordie phrase that said I Love You So Much and matted it with custard card and seated it in the lower right corner with mounting foam. I used the Layered Pierced Flowers and cut two in white, added a custard outline to them and a black centre. I seated them in the upper right corner as accents. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue. Yellow, black and white, is this a first? It's absolutely gorgeous and the embossing detail within the design of your dies are amazing, you are amazing, Particraft is amazing you're all amazing xxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, yes black yellow and white go really well together, this sample looks amazing, they are colours I rarely think about combining, well you have opened my eyes. I am going to make this one.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good Morning Sue. And what a gorgeous card. I love the colour combination. I once went to a wedding and this was my outfit choice. I love everything about it but the stand out for me is the pearly frame. Beautiful. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds Please stay safe and well 🙏 everyone.
HI Sue, love the dies but not sure on the post. I am a black fan but was thinking I'd possibly use grey instead but that's just me. Can still see how this will appeal though..
A beautiful design and color combination. I am using black here and there, but I can't see myself making a card with an all black background, but that's just me. Thanks for the inspiration, Sue.
Hugs from Toronto to you all. Stay safe and healthy. Carmen-Dorothy

Yes, an unusual colour combination but it certainly works. Thank you Sue.

ReplyDeleteWhat a distinctive card, I love the colours you have put together, and the dies used.
ReplyDeleteI didn't recognize the die used. How clever. A gorgeous card showing the versatility of the die.
