For You

Hello crafters!  I selected teal, white and black for today's card.  I started by cutting one of the Decorative Borders in white eight times.  I glued them on to the teal card in sets of two facing each other.  I matted the piece in black.  I cut two of the Pierced Summer Blossoms in teal and added black centres.  I seated them on the left edge of the card and added white leaves as accents.  I cut the Decorative Flag die in white and attached it across from the flowers in the centre of the card.  I cut the For You sentiment in black and glued it to the flag die.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  7 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

  1. Hi Sue.
    It feels like ages since we've seen your pierced flowers and even longer for the decorative border but it's lovely inspiration, and teal is a beautiful shade.
    Hope everyone feels OK at the moment. Sending love to all that comment today xxx

  14. Hi Sue
    Happy Thursday everyone x
    Beautiful background and I love the teal colour. There must be so many different backgrounds that can be created from your
    Decorative Border Dies. Endless possibilities - I do love versatility! I wasn’t around during the launch when we were introduced to these and your Pierced Summer Blossoms but I definitely have my eye on them x
    Take care everyone x
    Sending positive thoughts to all x

  22. Hi Sue. It's so nice to see the teal card making an appearance again, it is one of my favourite colours. I wouldn't have thought of using the border dies in this way, I would usually only think of using them as a border. Thank you for showing us how they can be used in a different way.
