To A Dear Friend

 Hello there my crafty friends!  I have a very simple Stampcuts card to share today.  I started by embossing the white background using the Art Deco 3D embossing folder.  Next I used the Cut Corner Rectangles to cut a wide frame using Lilac card.  I added it to the card with mounting foam.  Next I inked and die cut the Daisy Blooms Stampcuts die.  I used Distress Markers to colour it (Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac, Forest Green, Spun Sugar and Crushed Olive).  I added some glued to the centre of the daisy and used clear micro beads to give it a dimensional centre.  I added the floral spray to the lower corner of the frame.  I cut the To A Dear Friend sentiment out of both aqua and wisteria card and used the aqua as a shadow behind, then glued it to the inside of the frame.  The card was completed with white and wisteria mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are     6 3/4"  x  8" in size.  All for now. Sue x

Hi Sue,
This is a lovely card, and I had forgotten all about my micro beads. I must use them again, thanks for reminding me.
I'm not a lilac person so would use other colours for this, but this doesn't take anything away from your card.
