You're Too Kind
Hello bloggers! I selected a piece of white card to use and stamped it in black with a texture stamp with veins in it (sorry, its from an old set and I don't recall the name of it). I inked the card with Worn Lipstick distress ink all around the edges. Next I cut a Stained Glass Rectangle in white and added a black backing piece behind it. I cut the Layered Hydrangeas in white and inked thm with Worn Lipstick and Antique Linen distress inks. I layered up the Hydrangeas and glued them to the centre, then added green leaves around each of the flower heads. I cut the You're Too Kind sentiment in black and added it to a white shadow backing piece. I added them to the card with mounting foam. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a beautiful background on this sample, cracked ice comes to mind, I am sure I have some card similar to this which I can use, the flowers and sentiment are perfect and show off the design in al it's glory, love it.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x Beautiful card Sue x the stamped background looks lovely with your layered hydrangea x I love the sentiment too x thankyou Sue x Theresa w in Berks xxx
Hi Sue. I love the design of this card. I do think the flowers are very pretty although I am not too sure that they look like hydrangeas. I also like the smaller sentiments which work better for me as I am making smaller cards at the moment.
Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning. What a fabulous background today which really sets off the lovely card with the new layering dies. Loving g the colours too. Thankyou . Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well everyone 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
Hi Sue Beautiful card and fabulous background! I have the background stamp but can’t remember where I got it from (was it one of Sam’s?). I’ll try and look it up when I get home. Hugs x Heather T
