Just Because

Hi guys!  From the biggest bow ever yesterday to the tiniest bow today!  See I can change!  It doesn't always have to have a ginormous bow ( I just like them to!) LOL  I had to come back to the lattice motifs and border accents today.  I started with a piece of October Afternoon background paper in a black and pale yellow pattern.  I cut four borders and edged the paper with them, cutting them all down slightly to fit.  I glued them down so the outside straight edge formed a frame for my card.  I added to offset corners for interest.  I cut one of the Lattice Motifs in yellow and mounted it with a bit of 3D foam pieces.  I stamped my sentiment on to a lighter yellow and cut it out.  I mounted it in the centre of my motif and drew some faux stitching lines with a fine tipped black pen to it and to the edge of the lattice motif.  I added three small black pearls below my sentiment.  I made a tiny bow from black vintage ribbon and added it to the top of my motif.

I pierced all the way around the edge of the card and finished it with some offset mats.  Very simple and easy to recreate.  A change of sentiment and it could be for any occasion.  All for now, Sue x
