Thank You

Good Sunday morning all! I selected some papers from the Dot's 'N Stripes Paper Pad to use for the background.  I used the teal striped paper and cut a wide strip of the matching solid colour on the back of the striped page.  I matted it in white and added it with mounting foam to the top of the card.  I cut the Draped Jewelled Border in white and glued it to the paper.  I cut the Layered Zinnias in two shades of peach and the stems in two shades of green.  I added clear micro beads to the centres of the flowers.  I assembled the flowers and added them in the lower corner with a white satin bow.  I cut the Thank You sentiment in white and glued it to the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8 1/2"  in size.   All for now, Sue x

Oh Sue, this is you all over, it's so pretty, it's made my heart sing, definitely needs wall mounting in a beautiful but plain shadow box frame, what an amazing sample... Thank You.

Much love to you and all that visit xx

Good Morning Sue. Another lovely Sue card this morning. We can tell your cards a mile off ... They just stand out from the rest. This one reminds me of a Victorian era card ... Which is another of my favourite,s I know this one is not shabby chic ... But I just love looking at all the wonderful "Shabbys" that are out there. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏.
Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.

Hi Sue. Love the colour combination you have used on this card. They are colours that I wouldn't normally put together myself but you have shown us (again) that they really work.
