Just Because

Hi crafters!  This is my "Ode To John Lockwood" card! LOL    John just loves his ginger card and I hardly ever use it, but one day I was watching him on Hochanda and he used it.  I thought how pretty it looked so I grabbed a piece and this is what I made!  I started with a piece of coconut white card and cut the decorative die from the Wellington once in the centre of the card.  I placed it in a diamond sort of orientation.  Next I used the same die on both ginger card and on black card, but I just lightly embossed the design into both pieces.  I hand cut out the four corners on the black piece, then glued it to the back of the white cut out piece.  Then I glued the Ginger piece behind it so the remainder of the design showed through out of that colour.  I cut four of the Australian corners in black and matted each of them with Ginger card.  I added mounting foam and placed them in the corners.  I stamped a sentiment from the Fabulous Sentiments clear stamp set by Cr. Exp. and cut the inside of the Melbourne die out of black card and created a frame to go over it.  I matted the frame with Ginger card and added mounting foam to raise it over the sentiment.  I added it to the centre of the card.  The card was easily finished with a white pierced mat, a ginger and black mat and a final white layer.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x
