Sparkled and Recessed Card




Hi crafters!  Think sparkly and recessed and you have a lovely combination for a beautiful card, don't you think?








The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x

  3. Ever notice how much more exciting a card is when you have the dies? I have none of these (except the Passion Flowers). But kudos to those who do -- this is a lovely card!

    Best,

  31. Hi Sue,

    Another lovely card this morning, the dies you've used work so well together - the Diamond Squares background is already on my list but the Michelle is growing on me too, it's so pretty and would lend itself beautifully to some inlay work...

  34. Good Morning Sue. Gorgeous colours for today's card. I like Aqua and White together. Lovely use of dies as well. The dies you have used today are just a few that I don't have..... but I know by looking at your sample.... I have dies that I can substitute to make a very similar card. This what I love about crafting. Recreating but with your own little alterations. Thankyou for sharing Sue
    I usually watch your video first before my comment. But today I will have to watch later. Busy morning ahead. Sending best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
