On Your Wedding Day

Hello there my crafty friends! I hope everyone had a lovely relaxing bank holiday!  I started today's card by cutting the Lace Rose Heart die out of white card.  I glued it to a piece of clear acetate, then turned it over and added glitter to the back.  I started with the red of the heart and filled in that area with glue, then sprinkled on Fire Red polished silk glitter and tapped off the excess.  I did the leaves next in Hunter Green.  I filled in the background and sprinkled Sparkle Star glitter on it, then set the piece aside to dry overnight.  I cut a frame using the Decorative Hearts.  I used one of the smaller dies to cut an aperture in the middle of a piece of white card.  I added mounting foam to the back to raise it then added another piece of white card behind it.  I recessed the heart die cut into the aperture, then glued the Lace Rose Heart into the centre.  I added the frame around the aperture with mounting foam.  I cut the On Your Wedding Day from our Milestone Wordies and added it below the heart.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  7 3/4"  in size.  


Now for the first announcement!  The winner of the May die collection release is........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

    Oh wow! What a stunner. Nearly all white but with that striking flash of red - absolutely beautiful x
    A very appropriate card today in my case. I am off for a few days to a wedding so will be missing, but hopefully only for a few days and not down to my being out of action 🤞🏻
    Congratulations Theresa Weatherley - you lucky thing. What a delight to receive all of those fabulous dies - enjoy x
    Take care everyone x

  15. Good Morning Sue and all who visit this morning.
    Well what can I say. It looks like I have missed a fantastic launch while I was away.

    The Wi-Fi was very poor... kept freezing up then cutting out altogether ... and some days we had power cuts due to threatening thunder storms. The weather certainly wasn't what we are used to in Turkey.

    What young couple wouldn't want this on their special day. It is stunning. Thankyou Sue.
    Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
    Please stay safe and well 🙏.
    Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds
