I'm Here For You

 Good Sunday morning all!  I liked this piece of Caught In Crystal acetate that I found in my background stash so I decided to use it!  I started by embossing a piece of white card with the Elegant Swirls embossing folder for texture.  Next I cut the Leafy Oval out of white card and I placed the Caught In Crystal acetate below the white card.  It cut all the way through the white, but just the outline cut in the acetate.  I used the acetate as a backing and glued the Leafy Oval to it.  I added a raised oval frame using the Double Stitched Ovals.  To create the acetate, I used Citrus, Clover and Meadow Alcohol inks with a scrunched up piece of tissue over the top.  I had a bit leftover so I cut thin strips to add to the sides of the card.  I cut the I'm Here For You sentiment in white twice, stacked them, then glued it into the centre of the frame.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Oh Sue this is what I call Inspiration from Sue Wilson. It has your expertise and beauty all over from your caught in crystal to the gorgeous font of your sentiment all sitting gracefully on your tactical background. So much for an extra hour, tell that to the dogs body clock (sitting here since 4am or was it 5am) never mind ay, 6am is certainly worth waiting for 🥰
STAY SAFE KEEP CARING AND VIGILANT xxx 💖

Good Morning Sue and all.
I don't feel like I had an extra hour in bed but I'm sure I did as I didn't have to put the light on.
A beautiful Sue Wilson card today and I love it from the embossing to the sentiment and everything in between.
Have a good day.

Hi Sue, I love this card it is beautiful in its simplicity. I love all the greens you have used for the caught in crystal and they are the perfect foil for the Leafy Oval. The sentiment would mean so much to so many in these troubled times.

Hi Sue,
A lovely card in Green, Green and white go so well together. And the embossing folder and die used is stunning. I don't have the Leafy Oval but I have got plenty of the Austrian/Swiss dies to use them.
