For A Special Friend

Good Morning all!  A beautiful New York collection card to get you in the mood for today's shows I hope!  The shows start at 9am this morning on C & C and I have a great new technique for the very first demo!  If you aren't in the UK, you can watch them online at createandcraft.tv  The times listed are for the live shows in the UK time zone though.  I started this card by cutting the outer die in the Times Square out of milk card. I cut the Union die out of the centre of it and used the smaller die to cut the centre out of it.   I matted the square on to Baby blue card and reinserted the Union Square back into it flush with the backing card.  I cut a second Union Square out of milk card and cut the inside square out of it as well.  I turned it to a diamond shape and added mounting foam to raise it over the square below. I stamped a sentiment and embossed it in gold.  Using the decorative frames from the Italian Collection, I cut a round frame for my sentiment.  I gave it a matching blue backing to the edge and recessed the sentiment into it.  The corners were then decorated with the centre of the Union Square die which I nipped into four pieces.  I added them in the corners with mounting foam.  I completed the card with a pierced paper edge on a milk coloured mat, then a thin Baby Blue card mat and a final milk mat.  The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size.
