You're Delightful

Hi crafters!  Thank you so much for all of your birthday wishes yesterday!  I did have a very relaxing and enjoyable day!  Today's card uses the St. Barts die set from the Caribbean Collection.  I started by embossing a piece of milk card to create the background using the Rambling Blossoms embossing folder.  For the focal element, I cut the decorative die and the inner die from the St. Barts out of a smaller piece of milk card,  I backed it with a piece of Duck Egg Blue card.  I used the edge die from the Labyrinth Diagonal to put a small decorative edge all the way around it.   To add a bit of extra detail to the centre, I cut another St. Barts out of milk card but used the centre die to cut out the centre of this one.  I added it over the original with mounting foam to add some definition and depth.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the tag from the Refined Rectangle die set and mounted it in the centre of the card.  I used both the open and complete petal Camellias to make a single flower and seated it on a thin satin ribbon bow with a few leaves around it.  The card was finished with my usual pierced mat, a thin duck egg blue mat and a final wider milk mat.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x
