On Your Special Day

Hi crafters!  Today's card can be used for so many occasions with an easy change of sentiment, but I love that it could be for someones special day!  I started by cutting an oval shape and embossing it with the Leafy Quad embossing folder.  Next I used a piece of Sky Blue card and cut an oval frame using the Double Stitched Ovals.  While it was still in the ides, I carefully transferred it to the Leafy Quad embossing folder and left the folder open.  I added a rubber mat and several sheets of card to make up for the depth of the folder since I was only using half of it (if you close it, the die will cut into the folder and ruin it!)  Once embossed, I removed it from the folder and inked over the design while it was still in thee dies.  I used Faded Jean Distress Oxide ink and a small smoothie.  I added foam mounting tape to the back and added it to a larger piece of coconut white card.  I glued the white embossed oval down into the centre of it.  I cut the On Your Special Day and inked it with Faded Jeans to coordinate and glued it in the centre of the frame.  I used the Spiral Pearl Flowers and cut them out of vellum and made three flowers.  I mounted them in the lower corner and cut white leaves as accents.  I cut the Beautiful Butterfly out of Sky Blue card and used spray glue over it, then coated it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  I glued it in the opposite corner.  I added three white pearls in both of the other corners.  The card was completed with white and sky blue mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x   8" in size.  All for now, Sue x
