To A Dear Friend

Hello crafters!  I am trying out a new colour of Glitter Kiss on today's card.  While it looks rather dark in the pictures unfortunately, it is a really lovely rich wine colour in real life and quite beautiful (better in the close ups) too!  I used the Garnet Glitter Kiss to cover a piece of card and allowed it to dry thoroughly.  I cut it in half and used the Quilted Heart embossing folder on it.  I cut it on the diagonal and embossed a piece of white card with the same folder.  I lined up the pattern on the two, then added a thin white strip across the two sections.  Using the Camilla die, I cut the outline out of the leftover piece of the Glitter Kiss card.  I also cut the solid flowers from the Striped Nasturtiums.  I cut the Camilla die again out of white card and glued it to the backing piece.  I stamped my sentiment then cut a small frame for it out of the Double Stitched Circles.  I added the frame over the sentiment with foam, then glued it into the centre of the Camilla die,  I attached it to the upper portion of the card.  I cut the striped die from the Striped Nasturtiums and glued them onto the solid ones and assembled two flowers.  I seated them along the border and added Magnolia Corner cut into pieces as accents.  I cut the To A Dear Friend sentiment twice out of white card and stacked them, then glued them to the lower portion of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  7 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
