For You

Good Sunday morning all!  Happy Easter as well!   This is one of the demo cards from my last shows (way back in December!).  I started by cutting the outer decorative die from the Alexandra set using the inner cutting edge to create a decorative aperture.  I lined it with black to show through by cutting just the same cutting die and lining up the pieces.  I added mounting foam to raise it for dimension.  I cut the inside piece from the Alexandra die in white and backed it with blush card for the outer part of it and used black card for the very centre of it.  I created a channel in the card and cut the Ornate Octagon in black and backed it with blush card.  I glued that piece into the recessed channel below my focal element.  I stamped my sentiment and used the centre of the Alexandra to cut it out.  I inked it with Tattered Rose ink and mounted it in the centre of the card.  Next I cut several of the Orange Blossom in blush and used the open petal to give them a black outline.  I seated the flowers around my focal element and added some pink satin ribbon and the Orange Blossom leaves as accents.  I completed the card with a white pierced mat, a thin blush and black mat and a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  8 3/42 in size.
