Thinking Of You
Hello bloggers! I started by cutting a wide white frame using the Double Stitched Squares. Next I added mounting foam to the back of it to raise it. I embossed a piece of white card with the Twill Weave Embossing folder and attached back the frame. I cut three flowers using the Layered Sunflowers. I used two shades of yellow for the flowers and added brown centres. I also added clear medium micro beads to the centres. I cut several leaves using two shades of green card and attached them to the flowers which I seated in opposite corners of the frame. I cut the Noble Thinking Of You in chestnut brown, added a black shadow behind it and glued it inside the frame. 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
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, this is absolutely stunning, even down to the micro beads in the centre of the flowers, the close up photos show these so well. Another added to my to do list xx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
