Missing You
Hello crafters! I decided to use up some of my scraps to create the background on today's card. I selected powder pink, old rose and silver shine card and cut them into one half inch strips. I used the outer shadow die from the Missing You die set and cut an aperture in the middle of the striped background. I added mounting foam to the back t raise it and added a piece of white card behind it. I cut the Noble Missing You die out of silver card and glued it into the aperture. Using the Pierced Summer Blossoms, I made three flowers, glittered them and added pink centres to them. I seated the flowers around the sentiment and added a white Bauble Branch to the bottom of the flowers. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh I do like this love the colour of the background strips, the sentiment and flowers with the little bauble branch they are sitting on, and of course it wouldn't be without the bling. Gorgeous.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Good Morning Sue. Ohhh Wow ... I love this. I love it when you can use the left over pieces from other projects to make something else as gorgeous as this. And I can imagine blacks and golds would work great for the men .Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏.
Kind regards Ann in Leeds.
Morning Sue, this card is absolutely gorgeous, I love the colour palette. Take care and stay warm everyone. Bx
Soft, muted colour palette. You would never know that these were strips, even if you look closely at the cut edge. WakeyL
Hi Sue
Happy Monday everyone x
This is such a soft, beautiful colour combination. So pretty. A prime example of why we should never throw away any left overs. A justification for our ever increasing scrappy stash. Love the effect when you recess the sentiment. Love it x
Today is a momentous day - first day of 2023 where I have a line full washing hanging out. Always makes me happy 😆
Take care one and all x
Sending you all positive thoughts x
