To A Dear Friend

Hello crafters!  I thought I would share this lovely autumnal card before we get too far into winter!  At least I'm not posting it in the summer! LOL  I started with a piece of caught in crystal acetate from my stash as the background.  I used Yellow, red and green crystal tints on the acetate, added some holographic glitter and then crumpled up a piece of white tissue paper over it and set it aside to dry overnight.  Next I cut the Leafy Frame die in white twice.  I glued one of the over the background, then nipped the other one apart into leafy sections.  I glued them around the frame offsetting them from leafs in the branch, to give it a fuller look.  I used the Double Stitched Rectangles and added a thin white frame which hid the ends of the cut leaf additions.  I cut the To A Dear Friend sentiment in both white and black.  I added the black as a shadow then glued it into the centre of the frame.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x
