Just Because

 Hi crafters!  I used the Sea Garden embossing folder and embossed a piece of white card to use as the background for today's card.  Next I inked the Magnolia Stampcut die with black water based ink and ran it through the die cutting machine.  I used alcohol based markers to colour the image, keeping the flowers mostly white but using a bit of blue to highlight them.  I added them in the lower corner with mounting foam.  I cut the Noble Just Because sentiment in white and added a black die cut behind as a shadow.  I glued the sentiment to the top of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x
