Just Because

Hello there my crafty friends!  It almost looks as if this picture was taken in black and white, but it is just a  silver and white card for today's offering.  I started by taping the Feathered mask to a piece of s;ate grey card  I used Silver Chrome Glitter Kiss through the mask and then set it aside to dry overnight.  Next I cut the background into three sections.  I added mounting foam to the backs of each section and added them to another piece of white card.  Next I cut the Claire die out of white card, using just the outermost die in the set.  I cut the die again, but this time I used the next size down in the set and used the decorative die with it.  I added a backing of the outside die cut and backed it out of silver Glitter Kiss.  I cut the smaller circle from the inside of the die and used silver Glitter Kiss around the edge of it.  I added it to the centre with foam.  I added the Just Because sentiment  it to the centre,  Next I made a small scrunched flower using the solid flowers from the Striped Nasturtiums.  I added silver glitter kiss to the tips of the petal and allowed it to dry well.  I seated it with leaves and Fern Fronds cut in white.  The card was completed with white and silver mats and layer.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  7 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. This is absolutely beautiful there's almost something soothing and calming about your photography this morning. I'm amazed at how your work has changed going through the archives, how crafting has changed but still a very beautiful art. I can't find the concentration to make cards at the moment which is nuts, as I know it should take my mind to a better place, but you and the rest of our worldly blog family are helping just by reading the comments. Thank goodness I have Particraft to get up for. Sending much love to you Sue, and to all that visit today. Stay safe, stay well xxx

Good Morning Sue.
You were hard to find again this morning but I got here in the end.
A gorgeous card and I'm sure the camera doesn't do justice to white and silver. However, the card is beautiful and the individual pictures are all lovely.
Have a good day and please
STAY SAFE

Good Morning Sue. And everyone else this morning. Stunning card today Sue. As always silver and white look great and always remind me of the 25 years Anniversary. Thankyou Sue for giving us all a lift at these worrying times.
Can I say well done Uk. Eight o clock last night our country came into unity to thank our NHS. As I stood at my door applauding the wonderful staff my heart and eyes filled with emotion as we could hear from far away clapping.. cheers.. hoots.. horns.. And fireworks. All together. What an atmosphere. Thankyou NHS Thankyou. GREAT BRITAIN.
Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them this morning. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds

I love this card and I do think we should be sending out a lot of "Just Because" and "Thinking of You" cards these stressful times. The stencil is a great one and I love that the stenciled piece is cut in thirds.
Stay safe and healthy to all,
Stephanie K
PS to Ann Topp : I think that is amazing and wonderful.

Hi Sue, back on line at last after my laptop was broken on the flight back home due to luggage being rammed on top of my little case. This afternoon I am going to look back on your cards.
Love the silver and white card. I was supposed to be making a wedding card for my neighbour's daughter, but sadly her wedding has been cancelled due to the coronavirus. Very sad times!! Hope everyone is staying safe and keeping well. We too joined in with the clapping last night and I left a note on our him thanking the refuse collectors too. Hugs xxx Pauline

Lots of glitz on your lovely design. Interesting how the reflection of light can change how one perceives color. Silver and white or black and white, your card is beautiful.
