Morning all! Another sample showcasing the Curved Borders today. I just love the different look that can be achieved with this die set, it is unlike any other. I selected blush and mid grey and white for this card (I love pale pink and grey together!) I cut the edges of two pieces of blush card using the Curved Borders scalloped piece. I turned the dies in opposite direction so that they would meet and leave a pretty almost zippered look down the centre of my card. I used the same dies and did this again to some white card and matted it below my pink pieces so it was just peeking out. First however, on both of the blush card pieces, I used the decorative oval insert from the Radiant Rectangle set to cut a pretty decorative piece into the fatter portions of the pieces. I used the small die from the Opulent Ovals to add a decorative grey piece atop them. I added some Cosmic Shimmer silver PVA glue dots to them. Using some leftover bits of card, I made some torn flowers for the upper corner and one extra to sit in the centre of my bow. These are very easy to do, just tear small circles and crumple them, then stack them using a glue dot. Add small pearls or PVA glue dots to the centres as I have done here. They are flat and easy to post too! I tied the bow from reversible silver ribbon. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with one of the small tags from the Charmed I'm Sure set. I inked it lightly with Spun Sugar distress ink and tucked the edge under my flower. I added a few leaves from the Bitty Blossom set and inked them with Pumice Stone to keep my colour scheme. Down both the sides, I added rows of silver PVA glue dots as accents and paper pierced the edges of my double white mat to finish the card. Definitely more of a girlie one today! Finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue,
Oh how i have just fell in love with todays masterpiece. It is absolutely gorgeous. It's so pretty and the calm colours of the soft ivory with the the duck egg blue is just beautiful. The embossing and cut areas on the fattest part of the borders just lifts it that touch to finish the front of.

Take care
Love and crafty hugs

Hi Sue
What a very pretty card this is today so very girlie I love it.
Just love the grey, blush and white colour scheme I've tried this colour scheme myself and loved the way the colours went together. Grey is definitely the new black!
Love the way you have used the radiant rectangle oval to make a pretty eye catching design on the blush card with the opulent oval in grey. Also love the flowers you've made they are really pretty and the one on the ribbon is such a lovely centre to it.
Thank you for all your hard crafting for the blog and also for your infinite inspiration
Best wishes from Katie-Louise x
The curvy borders give an original 'zippered' effect Sue and the colours do look great together.
Wish I could achieve such cute torn flowers, mine never look convincing. Ah well, I'm only wasting what would otherwise be thrown away!
