Grateful (In Teal, White and Black)

Hi crafty blog friends!  Back to teal again today.  It seems that I can't seem to stay away from it too long lately.  It is a nice colour though, don't you think?  I started out with a piece of white card for this one and cut the Samantha Walker Twisted Metal tag die out of it.  I kept the die in place and inked the entire background with Broken China Distress Ink to create the teal background colour.

 When you remove the die you end up with that lovely white border left from the edge of the die.  The inner die piece was stamped with the sentiment and inked lightly with the same colour to highlight it.  I mounted the negative background piece over some black glitter card and attached the sentiment in the centre.  Using the white frilly edged  ribbon, I tied a big bow at the bottom of the card.  I cut several of the floral anemone die in white and teal card and removed the centre of each petal by folding it back and snipping it off.  I layered up the pieces and offset them slightly and glued them together.  I had a black fancy button in my craft stash that I glued in place for the centre of the flower.  There is a close up of it below for you. 

I pierced around the edge of the black card that I layered it on and added some black rhinestones in each corner to finish it off.  I really liked the way this one came out, probably because it was teal, who knows!  I hope you like it too.  All for now, Sue x
