Thanks

 Hi bloggers!  I thought I would share a fun card made with the Slimline Large Circles Background.  I cut the die out of white card, then lined it back up and cut another section giving me a wider card.  I used the Pearl Tints between two pieces of acetate.  I used the Blue Diamond and the Chateau Rose Pearl tints randomly all over a piece of acetate, then added another piece and sealed the edges with tape, then glued the Large Circles background over it.  I made a wide white frame and added it with munting foam over the background.  I cut the Decorative Flag die in white and added from the left side of the frame and cut the Thanks die out of aqua card and glued it to the flag.  I used the Pinwheel Florals cut in white and added a sticky adhesive backing to them, then glittered all the flowers.  I arranged them in opposite sides of the card and added white leaves.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8 " in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue, every time I walk into Particraft I wonder what's waiting as it all wakes up and starts loading, I'm very rarely disappointed or undecided but I always think the same 'what made you choose the tools, the colours the mediums etc' I never know where to start unless someone gives me a starting point ot a particular occasion such as wedding, but my ability to to think outside the box or build on creativity is just a massive stumbling block, I always hope for the best but I never know how it's going to turn out really lol. I'm loving the inspiration today, what a lovely 'Thank you' card but how lovely to send a card like this for many occasions.
Sending thoughts to all those involved in the awful accident in South Miami

Hello Sue
This is a perfect card useful for many occasions. I am a bit hit or miss when enlarging my dies so I tend to avoid doing that.Take care everyone x

Hello Sue and all
Love the effect of the pearl tints on acetate and such beautiful colours. So soft and reminds me of summer which so many of you are enjoying, it is quite cold here this winter, not compared to some places but definitely to what we are used to. Really pretty card and could be used for many occasions

Good Morning Sue. WOW. What a lovely card today. And a great idea to extend the circles slimline die ... What an effect . And I am wondering ... Is this a new technique with the pearl effects tints trapped in the acetate ... I hadn't seen it before ... but I would love to try this one out. It really looks different. A beautiful card today.
Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.

PLEASE KEEP STAYING SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, I really love these dies that you can extend as the circle ones do, they are so easy to batch make as well, with wonderful background colours and a frame you have an almost instant card. Brilliant sample Sue. xx

Hi Sue, a great card and squashing the Pearl Tints between two layers of acetate creates a lovely effect that I would never have thought of.

Good Morning Sue and all.
What a gorgeous card. I'm afraid I'm a bit.
like Steph and need someone to give me a starting point. I wish I could think outside the box too.
At that point my PC died on me and I've only just got it back.
Any way I love the card.

I really like the circles as a part of the background but still a focus of the design. It adds texture to the card and it’s very pleasing to the eye.
