You Are So Special
Hello there my crafty friends! I am using another piece of rainbow card for today's card offering. I selected a piece of Silver Sparkle Alcohol ink card. I used Raspberry, Citrus, Sunshine Yellow, Sailboat Blue and Amethyst Alcohol inks. I cut the Butterfly Rectangle Frame out of it and attached it to a piece of black card. I used the thin scallop border die from the Jewelled Scalloped Border die and cut it four times to create a scalloped frame around the outside of the Butterfly Frame. I cut the You Are So Special Block Sentiment out of white card. I added it to the centre of the frame, then cut just the sentiment in black and paper pieced it into the sentiment block. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue a beautiful rainbow card on a dark dark morning, you'll get us as addicted as you are, I think with the main block colour being black this example would be perfect for a males special card, it's almost like the card our daughter gave her husband after she got the all clear after her mastectomy and immunotherapy treatment to show him that his support was second to none, I'd like to see an example using a lighter more delicate block colour only because my imagination is hopeless so I can't see it in my minds eye. It certainly has some WOW factor behind it that's for sure. Well I'm leaving my comment which means I'm home thank goodness, biopsies taken with hopes it's just a weird long term infection that proves difficult to treat due to the medication I have to inject each week, they won't know for certain if it IS that or something more sinister and I suppose only time will tell, but in the meantime I had some lovely messages yesterday so thank you so much for being so lovely, I've never had so many lovely people in my life as I have here, I have extra special friends I met through the Particraft blog, but to have so many people show they are thinking of you, just a name is so sweet and exciting in a way lol because you know you can always show you care too when the time arises, you really are a special group of people - my blog sisters xxx
Good Morning Sue. I ... Like Stephanie ... Would like to see the same sample on a lighter background. But after saying that... This one would make a great man card. Oh Sue What have you done to my mind 😂. Thankyou so much. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
Hi Sue The colours you’ve used for the butterfly frame and the scalloped border are gorgeous and really stand out on the black background. I will send the sentiment back to you, you are a special lady Steph will keep my fingers crossed that the biopsies come back clear
Hi Sue, I love the effect of the rainbow coloured card on the beautiful butterfly frame and although the black background really shows it off I am still not a fan of just quite so much black. Having said that, I am not sure what other colour would suit it so well.
Steph - happy to see you today and just like Pat above my fingers are crossed that the biopsies come back clear.
Fabulous card I love the bright colours against the black background Stephanie I really hope your tests prove its something straightforward that can be easily treated sending you caring thoughts
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a very colourful sample today and I like it.
