Thinking Of You

Hi bloggers!  Today's card features the beautiful Canadian Background as well as several other dies from other collections.  I started with the background and cut it out of milk card.  I used the inside shape from the Sintra die to cut an aperture in the centre of the background.  I cut the same opening in the centre of a piece of sky blue card, then arranged my background to line up with it and trimmed the outside edges even.  I used the inside dies from the three Portuguese dies, Lisbon, Sintra and Porto, to cut a blue frame and edge it with a slightly smaller version cut out of milk card.   I added mounting foam to the frame and added it to the opening in my background.  I stamped my sentiment from the Phill Martin set called Decadent Damask Occasions Sentiments.  I covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet, then coated it with Diamond Sprinkles.  I cut two of the Elegant Lace Edgers and glued them to the inside edges of the frame and then seated it over my sentiment.  I cut two of the Foldover Flowers in blue and cream felt and seated the flowers with tulle, Mosaic Leaves and Splendid Swirls.  The background was adorned with 3mm cream pearls in the centres of all the floral sections.  I finished the card with a milk pierced mat, a sky blue mat and a wider milk mat.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
