Wishing You Well
Hello there my crafty friends! I embossed a piece of white card using the Floral Brocade embossing folder. Next I cut the Ruffled Edge Frame in both black and white. I used the black die as a shadow behind the white die. I added mounting foam to the edge and added a white backing piece. I added the frame to the background with mounting foam. I cut the Layered Poppies out of two shades of red and the stems and leaves out of two shades of green. I added black centres to the poppies. I assembled the flowers and added them inside the frame. I cut the Wishing You Well sentiment in black and glued it inside the frame. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, this is an absolutely gorgeous card, everything about it ticks all of my boxes, you can see the detail of the poppy in the close up photo's, brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing Sue xx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue. Beautiful just beautiful, and the layered poppies lend themselves to many of your thoughtful meaningful sentiment dies. Have a good day everyone xxx
Good Morning Sue. A lovely card today Sue. I love how you shadow your frames. I have tried this quite a few times ... They are passable ... but never as good as yours. But I am getting better at shadowing my sentiments. So I can't complain. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
Lovely bright card. I love poppies so you can’t go wrong with those! Funnily enough I planted poppy seeds last weekend & I had just been into the garden to see if there was any sign of them, then I open your blog & I’m greeted with your poppies. Thank you Sue.

Hi Sue, a really lovely card. I watched Gardeners' World last night and Monty was sowing poppy seeds, different varieties with a range of colours. I think I will try something like this card but maybe with blue or orange poppies for a change.
Hi Sue Sorry I’m late today. Been a rough day! Glad I’m here now though - beautiful, bright poppies. Love how you’ve layered them with two different shades of red. It gives them more depth. Gorgeous card x Take care one and all x Sending you all positive thoughts x Crafty hugs x PP Yvonne x
