Hello there my crafty friends! It is time for a clean and simple card today. Silver and shades of blue for this one, a really lovely combo I think! I started with a piece of antique silver card and used the Dotty Daisy embossing folder to add texture to it. I cut a piece of coconut white card on the diagonal and added it to the bottom of the card. Next I cut a strip using the Stitched Zigzag Borders out of Arctic Blue, Sky Blue and Bluebell card. I glued them together tightly on to a larger piece of antique silver card. I then used the same zigzag dies to cut them into a larger piece by butting the dies right up next to the card on either side. This gave me a thin border on each side where the stitching came out onto the silver card before cutting it. I added mounting foam to the back to raise it and added it diagonally across the card. I used the Spiral Pearl Flower to make a pretty vellum flower and added it at the top of the strip with two white leaves as accents. On the top portion of the card, I cut the Camilla die in white and added it with foam. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the circle die from the centre of that die set. I added it with foam to the middle of the Camilla die. The card was completed with white, Bluebell and antique silver mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/2" in size. Tomorrow is the launch for the September die release. I am really pleased with the release and there are quite a few lovely and fresh new designs too! I do hope you can join me here at 6am to kick it all off and, as usual, take part in the die giveaway! All for now, Sue x

Looking forward to the launch tomorrow, it coincides with the start of the 5th Test at the Oval so I can see that for the next few days I will be dodging between your blog and the cricket blog - happy days.
