Celebrate

  Hello crafters!  I started today's card by embossing the Fanciful Flowers 3D embossing folder.  I used the Ballet Slippers, Wisteria and the Honeydew Matt Chalk Polishes very lightly across the top of the embossed card.  I tried to do the flowers in the pink and wisteria and the leaves in the green.   I cut the Celebrate die out of a piece of  white card that I had added a sticky adhesive sheet to then coated with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  Once cut, I glued it onto the white backing shadow piece.   Next I went in to my scrap box (these dies are so good for trimming down that box size I know we all have!)  I selected powder pink, sky blue, aqua, honeydew, and wisteria card and cut it into 1 /2" wide strips.  I attached them in diagonal rows to a piece of copy paper using a sticky adhesive sheet.  I cut the Celebrate die and kept all of the fall away pieces, then paper pieced them back into the white outline die cut earlier.  I attached it to the centre of the embossed card with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.   The finished dimensions are   7"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for now. Sue x

Oh Sue this is absolutely beautiful so delicate and I just love how you matched the pastel chalk polish with your cardstock its adorable. I'm still on a high after holding snuggling and being in the company of our one and only granddaughter to see her excitedly waiting at the window for us made my year let alone day, I hope our dear friends have had the same wonderful experience if so we're celebrating our first coming together for too long. We're almost there so keep safe and have a lovely day xxx

Fluffycat said...

Hi Sue, a really lovely springtime card with pretty pastels and that touch of Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz is the icing on the cake.

Happy for those of you who got to meet up with family, it would have made for a very special week-end.

Minus 4 this morning with light snow everywhere but we now have blue skies and sunshine and most of the snow has disappeared although there is a strong wind so it is still cold.

Hi Sue L8cely card the pastel shades are so pretty I love the way you've used scraps to construct the letters in such a clever way
Glad some of you were able to meet up with family over the weekend it must have been very special We are hoping to meet up with our daughter who lives over 100 miles away sometime over the next weekend weather permitting as we can only meet outside Sadly our other daughter lives 260 miles away so it's not possible to meet her at the moment
