Thinking Of You

Hi crafters!  Today's offering is a diagonal Gemini die border card using wisteria, white and black card.  I started by cutting the diagonal border in coconut white card using the Cepheus Gemini die.  I did two across without the cutting edge, then flipped it the other way and centred it below in the middle and used the matching cutting edge.  I followed the shape and hand cut the remaining areas to the edges of the card.  I backed it wit a piece of wisteria card that I scored the bottom to add detail.  For the focal element, I cut the Butterfly Frame centre in white and backed it with wisteria card.  I cut the same die in back and cut it in half and added it to the sides peeking out from underneath.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the Double Pierced Noble Circle die, adding a light inking of Chic Viola Colour Cloud before removing it and a black mat from the B set.  I cut several of the Exquisite Poppies in wisteria card, adding black lines with a fine tipped pen.  I added black centres and white pearls to them and arranged them around the focal element with Lace Edged Leaves, Olive Branches and white satin ribbon.  White, wisteria and black mats were added to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  8 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
