Just Because
Hello my crafty friends! I used the Pierced Starburst die for the background and cut it into white card. I backed it with white vellum for a softer look. Using the Stitched Summer Blossoms, I cut a variety of coloured flowers in two sizes. I used Lilac, Ruby Red, Lavender, Raspberry and Amethyst card for the flowers. I assembled all the flowers and added black centres to them. I arranged them on the bottom of the card and added green foliage to all of them. I cut the Noble Just Because sentiment in black and glued it to the top of the card. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
