It's A Great Day To Celebrate

Hi bloggers!  I started by embossing a piece of white card with the Rope Chain embossing folder.  I cut a wide frame using the Clipped Corner Rectangles and added the die cut while still in the die to the inside of the embossing folder.  You have to leave the embossing folder open and cover it with a tan mat and a few pieces of card as a shim, but it will emboss the part of the frame that has no die covering it and it leaves a pretty white edge where the die actually was.      While the die was still in place, I inked it with Shaded Lilac Distress ink.  I added mounting foam to the back then attached it to the embossed card as a backing to the frame.  I cut the Celebrate out of card inked with Shaded Lilac, then added an offset black die cut as a shadow.  I stamped the rest of the sentiment and cut it out with the tag die from the set.  Using the Dotty Balloon set, I cut five balloons out of shades of blue and lilac and added them to the top of the frame.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
