Wish You Were Here
Hi bloggers! Like the sentiment says, wish you were here, I bet we all wish that! LOL I began today's card by cutting a piece of white card and inking it with Distress Oxide inks. I started in the very centre with Spiced Marmalade ink, then I surrounded it with Squeezed Lemonade around the "sun" area and into the sky. I finished with Salty Ocean for, as you can guess, the ocean! I cut a white circle frame using Jamie's Circle dies, then added mounting foam to the back of it and attached it to another piece of white card that I cut a circle in. I attached the inked background to it with mounting foam. I cut two palm trees from the Palm Beach die set out of black card and added them coming in from the sides. I used the sailboat from the Fish Shop die set and cut it in black as well and added it on the ocean area. I cut the Wish You Were Here sentiment in black and glued it to a white shadow backing piece. I added it below the frame with mounting foam. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
