Thinking Of You

 Hi crafters!  I had a request for this card, which was my last demo on the One Day Wonder shows on Thursday.  I used the Bevelled Glass Striplet to cut the background, cutting it twice to create an continuous background.  Once cut, I glued it to a piece of white card.  Next I used the inside cutting ring from the Innsbruck die set to cut an oval in the centre of the background.  I added mounting foam to the background of this piece to raise it for dimension and added a piece of the same blue card to the back which covered just the aperture opening.  I cut one of the Innsbruck dies in white using the inner cutting die and the decorative insert.  I recessed this piece into the aperture opening, gluing it into place there.  I stamped my sentiment from the Justrite Extra Grand Sentiment set on to blue card and heat embossed it in white.  I ran a bead of dries clear glue along the edges of the strip and dusted it with Iced Snow and allowed it to dry completely.  To make the floral embellishment, I cut several sizes of the Delicate Daisy Complete petal and used a stylus to shape the petals upwards.  I inked the ends lightly with Stormy Sky distress ink, then added glue to the tips and sprinkled on Diamond Sprinkles and let it dry well.  I stacked all the pieces, offsetting each one to create my flower. I finished it with a large flatback pearl in the centre.  I cut two of the Petite Vinery in white and seated my flower on some white tulle with the vinery added around it.  I tucked the end of the sentiment strip under the flower and attached the other end with a glue dot with some bend added in to it for a bit of a flowing movement.  I matted the card with a thin blue mat and a final white mat.  On the inside white mat, I added Cosmic Shimmer white PVA glue dots around the edge to frame the card.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x  8 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
