Just For You

 Hello there my crafty friends!  I selected a piece of white card and embossed it with the Padded Quilt embossing folder.  On the bottom of the card, I added a wide strip of Amethyst card that I used a score board to add detail to it.  I cut a thin border of black and amethyst card to go across the join.  I cut the Flower Pot out of Cinnamon card twice.  I cut the top of the pot off of the second die cut and inked the edges with Rusty Hinge distress ink and I also used a soft brown pencil then added it with mounting foam to the other pot.  I inked the bottom of the pot as well, then used a white pencil in the middle of the pot and top edge.  I cut the Layered Asters out of shades of purple and added yellow centres.  I cut the stem and leaves in green and assembled all the flowers and arranged them in the pot.  I cut the Just For You sentiment in black and added it on to a white shadow backing die cut and attached it below the Asters.  I added small white pearls to the Padded Quilt background.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for now. Sue x

  10. I love how some of the flowers aren't in bloom and unopened. Looks more realistic than if all were open and facing forward. WakeyL
