Sending Love & Hugs

 Hi crafters!  I selected the Wild Rose Cluster to be the focal element on today's card.  I inked it with a Black Archival ink pad and ran it through the die cutting machine to stamp and cut the design.  I did this four times.  Next I used Shaded Lilac, Fossilized Amber, Crushed Olive and Forest Moss Distress Markers to colour each of the Wild Rose Clusters.  I cut a wide frame using the Double Stitched Square die set.  I added mounting foam to the back and arranged all four of the Wild Rose Clusters on to the frame.  I embossed a piece of white card with the Quilted Pillow embossing folder and attached the frame to it.  I cut the Sending Love & Hugs in black and glued it to the middle of the frame.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  7" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Im Speechless at such a beautiful sample. Is there anything prettier than a garland of flowers or autumn leaves or festive forna etc, I just love this Sue and of course this sentiment comes from the bottom of my heart to you and everyone here, there is no other place that shows we care about each other so these words run deep xxx

Hello Sue and all.
What a gorgeous card with all the beautiful flowers. I love the colours too.
I think I should try making flowers again. I gave up years ago having decided that flowers were not for me. My sight is so much worse now so I wont be as critical of my efforts as I was then.
Thank you Sue and have a good day.
Marie P.

KEEP SAFE

Hi Sue
Your wild rose cluster looks fabulous surrounding that lovely sentiment, the colouring of the roses is superb I’m useless when it comes to colouring so I’ll just stick to Die cutting.
Happy birthday to your daughter Sue and happy birthday to Lottie Steph

Sending love and hugs to everyone
Pat

Beautiful card, beautiful colors, beautiful design. The Wild Rose Cluster Stampcut is beautiful, too, no matter how you use it. I have to invest in some stampcut dies.

Happy birthday to your daughter, Sue.
