Best Wishes

Hello my crafty friends!  I had planned on demonstrating this card back in Feb. but the ivy sold out before I was able to get to it.  It is a very easy card to do but it does  have a trick to making the frame for it.  I started by cutting the inside frame out of milk card using the die from the Herald Square set and placing it in the centre of a piece of milk card that was about an inch larger all the way around.  The die will give you the aperture for the first part of the frame.  To add the black frame, use the Union Square die, which is slightly smaller in size.  I cut the black card so that it was slightly larger than my first frame so I have an inside lip of black card and a small outside lip as well.  I glued them together and added mounting foam to the back of it.  I stamped my sentiment on milk card, then e,bossed it with the Wild Roses embossing folder.  I used some Enchanted Gold gilding wax on it to highlight the design.  Next I cut a bunch of the Trailing ivy die and attached them so they look like they are growing out of the frame around the sentiment.  I completed the card with a milk mat that was pierced, then a thin black mat and a final milk mat.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  7 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
