For Someone Special

Hello everyone!  Today's card offering is a pretty mix of aqua and white with a touch of black.  I started by embossing the background with the Brambled Rose embossing folder for texture.  Next I cut the Hexgonal Border twice out of aqua and twice out of black card.  I used the black as an offset shadow then glued the borders diagonally across opposite corners and trimmed the end even with the background.  Next I cut the Avery die in white.  I added an aqua edge and a black backing to show through thee cut out areas.  I seated that in the centre with foam.  I cut the For Someone Special sentiment out of both aqua and black and shadowed it before gluing it to the smaller Avery die cut base.  I added three small pearls below it as an accent.  I completed the card with the Carnation die using the matching Shaded stamps.  I inked the edges with aqua ink before assembling then made three flowers to add around the focal element with a satin bow and white leaves.  The card was finished with white, aqua and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  9" in size.  All for now.
