Just For You

Hello my crafty friends!  I have been playing with the St. Barts die set again!  Working from the background up, I used the Tiles mask to simply emboss the design into my milk card.  I matted it with a thin black mat and added four cream pearl corners to it.  Next I cut the St. Barts out of milk card and added a black backing piece to it.  I did two of these for my focal element.  On both of them, I cut them down the middle and lined the two sides up together and took off a bit more with my paper cutter to create two pieces that when taped back together were more or less square in shape.  I offset the two pieces and glued them together to create the focal element.  I stamped my sentiment in black on milk card.  To frame it, I used the Refined Rectangle die set to cut a rectangle frame.  I cut this one in half and took away a bit more with my paper cutter to create a square when taped back together.  I glued my sentiment in place behind it and trimmed away the excess card.  I cut several of the very small flowers from the Complete petal Camellia die set and added them around my sentiment as embellishments.  I added some black flatback pearls to their centres.  Finally the card was finished off with a pierced milk mat layer, a thin black mat and a larger milk piece of card.  The finished dimensions are  7 3/4" x  7 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x
