You Are So Special
Hi crafters! I started today's card by cutting the Woodgrain Plank Background out of tan card. I used Frayed Burlap, Hickory Smoke and Antique Linen Distress inks on the background. I cut the Layered Coneflowers out of shades of purple and added yellow centres to the flowers. I added clear micro beads to the centres. I cut the leaves and stems in green , then assembled the flowers. I added them to the background, then I cut a Pierced Flag out of white card. I cut the You Are So Special sentiment in black and glued it to a white shadow backing piece. I added the sentiment to the Pierced flag with mounting foam. Several clear water crystals were added to the background as accents. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 7 1/2" in size.

Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning. What can I say about today's cards ... I am a background girl ... I love a nice background and your backgrounds are always eye catching for me ... But somehow, not today. I love the flowers... Stunning, I love the sentiment but ... Only my opinion, the background lets it down. Thankyou Sue Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds

Hi Sue, a lovely card, simple and elegant. I use the Woodgrain Plank Background quite a bit but had not thought to use this combination of colours so that is something for me to try, thank you.
