Because You Are Loved

 Hi bloggers!  Back to the Pixie Sparkles for today's card background.  I used Zesty Lime and Beyond Blue.  I allowed it to dry well then embossed it with the Quilted Pillow embossing folder.  Using the Double Stitched Ovals, I cut a wide frame out of white card.  I added mounting foam to the back to raise it and attached it to the background.  I cut the Because Shadowed sentiment out of white and added a black shadow, then glued it to the shadow backing die which I cut in white.  I added mounting foam to support it then attached it across the oval frame.  I used the matching stamps to add the "you are loved" sentiment and stamped and cut it with the tag die from the set.  I added it onto the edge of the oval frame.  I used the Striped Nasturtium die set and cut the outline flowers out of white card covered with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I glittered the flowers then assembled them and added them in opposite sides of the frame.  I used Lace Edged Leaves as an accents around the flowers.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  7 3/4"  in size.    All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue another great card. Love the lace edged leaves on this card, don't know how I've managed to miss ordering these, but hopefully I can rectify this fairly quickly.

Lisbeth said...

Hi Sue. Love that background, it really looks as though you have used more than 2 colours and that embossing folder is to die for. I also love the way the white accents stand out so nicely against the dark background.

Lovely bright card & I think the striped nasturtiums will always be my favourite of your flower dies. Having said that I’m loving your new flower panels. Sorry I have missed a couple of days, just been busy! Thank you Sue.

The background on this card is gorgeous and adds texture. I like the large oval frame which stands out against the background. I especially like the sentiment and the white flowers, which I find are a favorite.. Beautiful!
