Sending Love & Hugs

Hi crafters!  I grabbed the Slimline  Basket Weave stencil to create the background on today's card.  I used Wisteria Matt Chalk Polish through the mask.  Next I created a multi-layered frame for it using the Slimline Essential Frames with a wider white base and a thinner wisteria frame on top.  I added the frame with mounting foam.  I cut the Starflower Cluster die twice in white and twice in black card.  I used the black behind the white die cut as a shadow.  I cut the separate flower die in wisteria with black centres and I added the to the top of the cluster dies, using Medium sized Clear Micro beads as accents.  Next I attached them on the sides of the frame.  I used the Sending Love & Hugs sentiment cut in black and wisteria and added it to the centre of the card.  The card was completed with white, black and wisteria mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 5 1/4  x  9 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh how stunning this wisteria colour looks on the background and also the flowers, such a beautiful colour, love this one. We can tell that spring is on the way, although here in Kent it is freezing again, having a cold spell for a few days.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Thank you Steph and Pat L for the Birthday wishes. The day hasn't started very well as it's perishing cold and my boiler must not be working so no heating and no hot water. At least the sun is shining

Hi Sue. I am surprised that the starflower cluster is not too big to sit on the borders of this card but they fit perfectly. Love the stencil that you have used.
