Hi crafters! I selected white, Cobalt blue and black for today's offering. I cut the top layer of the
Tina die into the edge of a square piece of coconut white card. I cut it all the way around the card. Next I cut the
Millie die into the centre before add my next layers onto the Tina cut outs. Next I decided to use the black card as my middle colour for the borders and cut four of them into black card strips. Since I wasn't sure what colours I wanted to use before I started, I added the second layer in strips behind the white (that way I was able to play with the colours a bit before deciding). I used the
Cobalt blue for the base and behind the Millie cut out area. I made a thin frame using the
Double Stitched Squares and added it with foam. I made another frame using the
Double Stitched Circles and added it with foam too. I used the
All The Best sentiment cut out of Cobalt and I added a black card shadow then put all the pieces on to the white shadow backing from the die set and added foam to it to attach it in the circle frame. I completed the card with white, black and Cobalt mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hello Sue, a lovely card, the colours reminding me of the sort of tiling and paving you find in Greece. Have a great day everyone. Bx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a stunner this one is today, love it, I know it is a big card but you could use the inside to make a smaller card without the 3d outside if you wanted. brilliant.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Good Morning Sue. Ohhh you have used my favourite lady for this mornings offering...I love Millie...I bought her as soon as she came...and I just love her...she always reminds me of Wedgwood. Beautiful card this morning Sue. Thankyou. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
Hello Sue and all
Oh Millie is so beautiful, yes just as Anne said, had to have her as soon as she was released and is such a favourite. I am still waiting to get back to my craft room, plaster is off but still very sore, lots of physio but Millie is one of the first dies I will be making a bee line for. The colours are gorgeous too.
Thank you Sue,
Hugs

Today's offering is lovely and dramatic. I especially like the center square with the Millie die. You made me smile today as I was reading your write-up on this card. I like that you shared your train of thought into creating this design. Thank you for sharing. Hugs
