Hello Sunshine

Hello crafters!  It's a purple kind of day today! LOL  I started with a piece of coconut white card and cut the Joanie decorative die out of it four times.  I backed it with a piece of lilac card then used the inside cutting die from the Joanie set and cut an aperture in the centre.  I added mounting foam to the back to raise it then added it over a piece of white card.  I used the two outer cutting dies from the Joanie set and cut a thin frame using Iris card and glued it around the aperture opening.  I cut one more Joanie die out of white card and added it to a white backing with sticky adhesive sheet on it.  I used Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on the exposed adhesive, then recessed it down into the aperture.  I cut two Decorative Flag dies and extended them both to varying lengths, giving them both forked ends.  I stacked them then attached them across the opening.  I cut the Hello Sunshine sentiment out of Iris card and glued it to the flags.  I used a small lilac flower as an accent next to it.  The card was completed with white and Iris mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8 1/4"  x
8 1/4" in size.  All for now. Sue x

Good Morning on this last day of August.
I hope you are all well and that you are ready to wind down a little Sue as you've had such a busy Month.
I agree with Steph. that this card is a definite Sue Wilson work of art and I love it.
The colours are so soothing and there's a place for everything and everything in it's place. I can almost hear my Mum saying that to me long, long ago.
Thank you Sue for keeping our spirits up in these difficult times.
Hugs.
Marie P.

Hi Sue, a very pretty card and I love the lilac card and that you have used just the one die set for both the background and focal point. Just a touch of sparkle in the centre and all the pearls lift the whole.

This card is amazing and I didn't even recognize Joanie this morning. Must need another coffee as the thunderstorms kept me and the pup up last night.
Everyone, stay safe and enjoy your day,

Hi Sue. What a very clever use of the Joanie die to create both the corners and the centrepiece in different colours. Lovely colours and just the right amount of sparkle too.
