Sending Hugs

Good Sunday morning all!  Another card using the Aurora Flakes (but it photographed slightly better than the last one so I was pleased!)  I started by embossing the background with the Quilted Pillow Embossing folder.  I extended it slightly to make it more  squarish in shape too (very easy since it is a repeatable pattern).  Next I covered a piece of card with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled the backing off and added the Purple Dawn Aurora Flakes to it.  I used my rubitscrubit pad to move the flake around and then refine and remove the excess.  I used the Double Stitched Octagons and cut several frames out of it.  I added mounting foam to the back of the frames, except for one spot, where I stacked them so they were all gathered in that one spot.  I used the leftover flake card and cut the Striped Nasturtiums out of it as well as the Sending Hugs sentiment.  I added solid backs to the flowers and assembled them and added the cluster to the left side where the frames were gathered.  I cut the Family Tree die out of white card and nipped it apart to use as accents around the flowers.  I added the sentiment to a strip of vellum after gluing it to the shadow base piece.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  7 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
