Best Wishes

Hello crafters!  I started today's card with a piece of white card and used the Lace Rose Heart die and cut it into the card twice.  I covered a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet, peeled the backing paper off and attached the die cut card on top of it.  I used Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on the remaining sticky areas.  I cut the die again, but this time, I cut it with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card.  What this does is completely cut out the top piece (the black die cut here) and leaves the bottom piece with an embossed image of the design and just the outside edge of the die cuts.  I used markers to color the roses on the white die cut.  Once I finished colouring it, I covered it with another piece of sticky adhesive sheet and trimmed it to the shape of the heart.  I removed the backing paper then seated the black die cut on top.  I used more Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on the sticky areas, the added it to the card with mounting foam.  I cut the Best Wishes sentiment in black and glued it to the card.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

  1. Hi Sue.
    This ls lovely but as much as I like black to help things pop, some celebration cards need (in my books) a more subtle colour, but the design and the idea behind the design is just really pretty.
    After reading back yesterday's post, I too have the eeby-jeebies with the flakes lol I'd love just a quarter of your confidence then I wouldn't have 2 unopened jars of gorgeous guilding flakes, the ones I wanted for months years ago lol.
    So as yesterday was a complete nightmare I still have my surgery nightmare to go through Monday, so I have an order for a 1st anniversary card to do to take my mind off the stress and worry (maybe I should open my jar of guilding flakes) lol.
    Love to all this Friday morning, stay well, stay safe xxx

    What a lovely card, I don't mind the black on
    this card at all, sometimes it can be a bit
    stark.

    Hope all goes well on Monday, Steph, making
    a card sounds like a good idea!!

  6. Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful card with the embossed white hearts and the black on top, love the glitter, I wonder if a light grey card would have been better then the black, but that is just my opinion. This is a gorgeous die set, I have used it loads of times.

    Steph I hope all goes well for you on Monday, will be thinking of you xx

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

  18. Hi Sue, I love the Lace Rose Heart die and the bold sentiment but for me the black is too prominent on what is usually a very delicate die.
