Best Wishes

Hello bloggers!  I started today's card by cutting thin strips of card in three colours; lilac, lavender and amethyst card.  I love it when I can use leftover bits!  I cut a piece of white card and covered the card with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I added the thin strips in alternating order down the length of the card, then trimmed away any excess.  Next, I cut the Harper die in white twice and the Jayne die in white once.  On one of the Harper dies, I added a lilac backing to it.  On the two remaining dies, I nipped them in half.  I added the cut halves of the Harper die to the top and bottom of the Harper die with the lilac backing.  Then I added the cut halves of the Jayne die to the left and right sides of the Harper die.  I added it to the middle of the card with mounting foam.  I cut the Rose Cluster in white with two piece of white card while cutting.  I used the bottom copy to colour the rose cluster, then I added the top die cut to it.  I used a pair of scissors and nipped away a single rose and added it to the left side of the focal element.  I cut the Best Wishes out of Amethyst card and black card.  I used the black die cut as an offset shadow under the sentiment, then glued it to the middle of the Harper die.  I had some pearl corners in my stash so I used them in the four corners as accents.  The card was completed with white and amethyst card mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

This is a lovely post and very pretty in the lilac shades, but so easy to change up with different colours to suit the recipient 😊

Good use of the excess pieces of paper we always have for the background, resulting in a beautiful card. WakeyL
