Hello Sweet Friend

Hello crafters!  I started by embossing a piece of white card with the Dotty Flourish embossing folder.  Next I cut the Hello Sweet Friend All In One out of black, red, khaki and cobalt blue card.  I used the black die as the base.  I cut the two birds from the blue die cut and glued them onto the black die cut.  I cut the three birdhouses out of the red card and glued them onto the black die cut.  Lastly, I cut the foliage out of the khaki card and glued them onto the black die cut.  I added a white vellum backing to it.  I made a white frame for the die.  I cut three clouds from the Twinkle Twinkle Stars and Clouds die out of Arctic Blue and Sky Blue.  I glued them to the background, then added the slimline die cut with foam to the background.  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

Morning Sue, todays card is brilliant, lots of work to glue the coloured die cuts in place, but very effective. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx

Morning Sue.
Just my kind of card, I am not a fan of colouring.
A very pretty card thank you.
Take care and have fun Kitty.

Oh Sue what a cute gift to give a friend you love, someone that supports you and you support, that lifeline you need to talk to that needs you too. This is a sample I've not seen before but it really deserves to be placed in a glass fronted frame and displayed. I've felt so much support here over the past couple of weeks I know I'd have crumbled even more without friends at Particraft and those few dear friends that use to post on Particraft. This sentiment is beautiful and from me to you Sue and all that visit today xxx

Hello Sue, a great card. I don't have any of these slimline all in one dies yet but they are so versatile used alone for a quick card or as you have used here by using different coloured card. Fabulous

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another beautiful creation to welcome in this Monday morning, weather wise it is getting chilly in the UK, I wonder what it is like Sue in the US. I love the way you have tucked some of the clouds behind the main element, it breaks up the ef nicely. Another one to add to my ever growing list.

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

Hi Sue. What a great idea to make the slim die into a wider card by adding the clouds behind it to extend the design. Such a pretty card. Thank you.
