For A Special Friend
Hello bloggers! I selected a piece from my background stash to use for the background for today's card. It was created using the Red Oxide and Coral Crush Pixie Sparkles. Next I cut a white oval frame using the Double Stitched Ovals. I added mounting foam to the back of the frame and added it to a white Looped Ovals die cut. Using the Layered Coneflowers die set, I cut multiple flowers out of Cardinal Red card. I cut the leaves and stems out of green card and added brown centres to the flowers. I arranged all the flowers inside the frame and glued them into place. I cut the For A Special Friend sentiment in black and added it to a white shadow backing piece. I added it to the bottom of the card with mounting foam. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size.
Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning. Another lovely card using the build a flower dies. These at so versatile as you can build them as high as you wish or leave them flat for easy posting. And personally I love the cone flower the best. I do have another brand of cone flower but a bit bigger and by mixing the two I get a lovely bouquet. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them. Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh the background on this is perfect to showcase the wonderful flowers, love it.
