Birthday Wishes
Hello there my crafty friends! I started with a piece of purple card. I ran double sided tape all the way around the edges and coated it with Lilac Polished Silk Glitter. I cut a smaller piece of white card and added it to the middle of the card. I cut the Elegant Fanfare twice. I nipped them apart and reassembled them into a larger square shape and glued them around the edges of the white card. I cut two of the Decorative Tag Duos in antique gold card. I backed both of them with purple card. I criscrossed them in the centre of the card, the cut the Art Deco Birthday Wishes sentiment in white and glued it across the tag. The card was completed with white, gold and purple mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh how Purple and gold go together, this is gorgeous, you can see so much of the detail in the close ups. Stunning creation xx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue. How clever you are to make the gold borders around the white card. This is such a great way to draw your eye into the sentiment and adds so much detail you don't need to add anything else to make a stunning card.
Good Evening Sue and all that visit today. A beautiful card today but how can you go wrong with fabulous tools like these ... Always a great result. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
