Thanks So Much

 Hello there my crafty friends!  Today's card is one of my personal favourites shown during the latest blog launch.  It just really sings to me!  I just couldn't wait any longer to share it with you.  I do hope you will like it as much as I do.  I started with the outer thin frame which I cut using the largest two dies from the Ornate Pierced Rectangles.  I added some mounting foam to the back, then cut two of the Lattice and Lace Striplets out of coconut white card.  I used the outer cutting edge on both of them and them attached them horizontally to my frame.  I used the Ornate Pierced Rectangle to cut a backdrop out of white card that was covered with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled the backing paper off and coated it with Iced Snow.  I glued the frame in place over the top of it.  Next I used the Classic Adorned Design Noble and cut the centre section out of white card.  I used the inner and outer cutting edges to create a frame.  I stamped my sentiment on a piece of vellum them centre the same outer cutting edge over it to cut it even.  I glued it to the back of the die and used a Spun Sugar distress marker to colour the back of it where the frame was, stopping before the opening where the sentiment was situated.  I mounted this piece in the centre of the cad with foam.  Next I cut the Perfect Peonies Complete Petal and made a pretty flower.  I edged it with Spun Sugar for a soft highlight then coated it with glue and sprinkled it with Iced Snow and set it aside to dry.  I made a second smaller flower to match.  Once dry, I seated both flowers on my card and cut several of the Dandelion Clocks to use as embellishments. I tied a messy bow with thin white satin ribbon and tucked it under my flower.  Finally I completed the cad with my usual paper piercing (with my piercing ruler), a thin blush mat and a final white mat layer.  The finished dimensions are
6 1/2" x  8" in size.  Hope you like it!  All for now, Sue x
