You're So Special

Good Sunday morning all!  I decided to have a little play with my Lyra die here to see if I could use the swirly bits as holding hands for my sentiment strip.  I think it worked a treat!  I used the decorative insert without the cutting edges three times in the centre of a piece of coconut white card.  I flipped the centre one to add a bit of randomness to it.  I mounted this piece over another piece of coconut white card that I added a sticky self adhesive sheet to and glittered with Iced Snow.  I stamped my sentiment on to a piece of blush card using a Clear Perfect Medium pad.  I heat embossed it in white and used some Tattered Rose distress ink along the edge to highlight the white embossing a bit.  I added white dots along the edges top and bottom with a white gel pen.  I slide the sentiment in diagonally through a few of the swirly bits of the Lyra cut out.  I trimmed the edges straight on the sides and added a drop of glue to secure it.  I made a pretty Camellia flower out of white card and edges it with Tattered Rose before sugaring it with Iced Snow.  I tucked some Mosaic Leaves in around it and tied a bow out of pink Bakers Twine and added it as well.  I completed the card with a paper pierced edge, a thin blush mat and another wider white mat.  The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size.
