Sending Big Hugs
Hello crafters! I started with a piece of white card and added black and white striped paper from the Monochrome Paper Pad to both sides. Next I cut the Layered Daisies out of two shades of yellow. I cut the leaves and stems out of two colours of green card. I assembled the flowers and glued them to the white background. I added brown centres to the flowers and glued clear micro beads to the centres too. I cut the Sending Big Hugs out of black card and added it to a white shadow backing piece. I added it to the top of the card with mounting foam. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue and all. A beautiful inspirational Monday and a sentiment I'd love to send to you Sue for all the sharing, help and the beauty you give to us every day of the year, and to everyone that leaves their comment every day, we have a really special group here that really care. Saying that, June Horrocks sends her love to you Sue and everyone that visits daily, she so misses not being able to log in, hopefully once she has treatment on her poorly eyes she'll be able to see the beauty you give us every day. Love and caring hugs frome me to you xxx
A gorgeous card. I was trying to figure out which die you’d used at the sides at first, until I read it was from the paper pad. It looks so effective. Love the flowers and the sentiment die.
Good morning Sue, a wonderful card, I love the daisies and they look so fresh in this sample. Like Helen, I too thought you had used a die to cut into the card at either side Marion S x
