Congratulations

Hello bloggers!  I started with the background and used the Peacock Teal and Flamingo Pink watercolour inks randomly all over it.  Once dry, I embossed it with the Bed of Roses embossing folder.  Next I cut a multi-layered frame using the Postage Stamp Frames.  I used Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue and spread it with my finger across the centre of the card's background.  I added the frame with mounting foam, then sprinkled Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz inside the frame area.  I stamped my sentiment then added a frame using the Safari Tags die set and glued it into the centre of the frame.  I made three glittered Button Flowers as accents and attached them in opposite corners.  I used the Magnolia Corner cut into pieces as accents around the flowers.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x 8 1/2" in size.  All for now. Sue x

Hi Sue. Inspiration for most occasions with all the sentiments you've given us, all the pretty flower dies, and all the various frames you've launched, a quick and simple card for our new blog friends to attempt, its wonderful that you've reached as far as Sri Lanka too, so welcome to our new family members.
Whatever the day brings hope it's a lovely one xxx

Good Morning Sue. What a lovely card today. I love the colours on your background Sue. The white frame looks beautiful. And like KARENLOTTY the bed of roses is also my favourite folder. Anyone would love this to drop through the letter box. Thankyou Sue.
So sorry I was not around the last two days. I was not very well ... nothing serious ... just out of sorts. Been having some work done in the house and was getting me down a bit. All done now and back to my self. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.

PLEASE KEEP STAYING SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏

Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.

A great card, in beautiful colours. I was lucky enough to win the frames so am doubly delighted to see this card. I have not had chance to use them yet as my husband and I have been trying to paint our garden fence, a mammoth task as we have at least 20 panels all needing two coats on each side, we are trying to do it whilst we have the nice weather but I am definitely going to take a break and use the frames this weekend. Thanks Sue!!!

Crewe Trish said...

Loving the colours of your background and how you’ve softened the centre panel with the glue and glitterbitz, something different to try. The postage stamp frames look great
