I Smile When I Think Of You
Hello bloggers! I selected a piece of Ruby Red card for the background. I used the Alice die and cut it into the card. I backed it with a piece of white card. Using the Lace Coronet Border, I cut it four times in white and glued them in pairs to the edges of the card. I cut the Gloria die with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card. I coloured the white embossed copy with alcohol ink markers, then covered the piece with a sticky adhesive sheet and added the black die cut on top. I trimmed away the excess adhesive sheet. I sprinkled Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on top. I added the die cut to the centre of the card with mounting foam. I cut the I Smile When I Think Of You sentiment in black and added it to a shadow backing die. I added the sentiment across the middle of the die. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" in size.
