Thankful For You

Hello there my crafty friends!  Teal, black and white for today's offering (I just love that colour combo!)  I started with a piece of teal card as my background and cut two of the Victoria die in white and cut them in half lengthwise, gluing the pieces to the upper and lower edge of the card.  I added a strip of white pearls along both edges to conceal the cut lines.  Next I cut the Classic Adorned Hexagon in white, backed it in white and cut the centre of it out to create a frame.  I used the Double Stitched Hexagons to create a thin black frame to sit at the inner edge of the frame.  I cut the centre of the Adorned Hexagon in white without the cutting edge and mounted it behind the white frame.  I added it to the centre of the card, allowing the teal backing card to show through.  I stamped a sentiment and cut it out with the centre hexagon shape and added it to the middle of the frame with foam.  Next I cut two of the Nasturtium Clusters in white.  I added the matching flowers inked in Peacock Feathers and offset two of the larger flowers in the middle of the cluster, also inked with Peacock Feathers.  I glued them into place along the edges to add a floral element to the card.  White, black and teal mats and layers and white flatback pearls were used to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  9 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
