Just Because

Morning everyone!  A pale yellow and silver/grey offering for today.  I started with a piece of decorative backing paper from my stash, which determined my card colours.  I stamped two of the Justrite scalloped border stamps using a clear perfect medium pad.  I added silver shine embossing powder and heat embossed them.  I used the matching scallop edgeability die to cut both borders out.  I added some foam mounting pieces to raise the borders on the top and bottom of my card.  Next I used the grey card and cut two of the smaller windows from the Chateau Gate die set by Heartfelt Creations.  I nipped out the centre windows and strip and glued the bottoms end to end.  I cut a labels 18 frame using two of the sizes in the set.  I cut a forked strip and stamped a decorative swirl across it using a perfect medium pad to give it a watermarked look.  I used the strip to weave through the windows and label frame and hold them in place.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the labels 18 die.  I used the die and traced around it on a piece of grey card and then hand cut it to make a Faux nestie mat for my sentiment.  I mounted it in the centre of my focal element.  I double matted the card in pale yellow and use the Cosmic Shimmer silver PVA glue to make dots all the way around the edge.  Finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 6 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
