Wishing You Well

Hi bloggers!  Today's card started with apiece of coconut white card embossed with the 3D Diagonal Floral Vines folder (one of my favs!), giving texture to the background.  I coated a piece of card with some Bordeaux Glitter Kiss and allowed it to dry well.  I cut a thin rectangular frame out of it using the Double Stitched Rectangle die set as well as the Vanessa die backing piece.  I made the frame multi layered by cutting a wider white base frame and then attached the Glitter Kiss frame to it with foam.   I attached the frame over the embossed background.  Next I cut the decorative die from the Vanessa die set and cut it into a frame, then glued it to the top of the Glitter Kiss backing frame.  I added it to the centre of the card with foam mounting tape.  I cut the Wishing You Well sentiment out of white card and glued it to the centre of the Vanessa die.  I decided to keep this one clean and simple and just added some pearls as accents.  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

Well Sue we can depend on you to brighten our day with beauty during these worrying times of higher infection rates, awful fires flooding the States, hope I've not added extra pressure onto your shoulders. All I can say is this is absolutely stunning and not only would I be really proud if I'd done something as gorgeous as this, but it deserves to be wall mounted within a plain frame.
