Thanks So Much

Hi bloggers! I hope everyone had a great weekend (Maybe you even had a chance to use a few new Christmas dies! LOL)  Today's card uses the Configurations range of dies to create the pretty background layers.  I started by cutting the Elegant Lace Edger out of milk card.  I cut four of the corners and four of the longer edge piece and glued them in place around the edge of a piece of milk card.  I cut a smaller piece of milk card and embossed it with the new Linen Texture embossing folder (8 x 8 size) and matted it with a piece of Periwinkle card.  I cut four more of the same edger die in milk card and glued them into place around the edge of the smaller background piece.  I added mounting foam to this piece for dimension.  I cut the Sintra die in milk and backed it in Periwinkle card for contrast.  I used the centre die to cut it into a frame.  I used the smaller die in the set to cut the next layer in my focal element, also cutting the centre out.  I backed it in periwinkle as well and added it with foam on top.  I stamped my sentiment and covered it with a sticky adhesive piece, then coated it with Diamond Sprinkles.  I centred my sentiment in the aperture opening of the frames and placed the entire piece in the centre of the card.  I cut a couple of small peonies in milk and added them around my sentiment too.  I finished the card with some cream flatback pearls as embellishments and added my usual pierced mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x  8 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
