You Are Close To My Heart

Hello crafters!  I began today's card by cutting the Scalloped End Rectangles out of white card several times.  I glued the frames to a piece of white card using a slightly larger one in the centre and smaller ones on either side.  I used Peacock Feathers ink and a smoothie and inked around the edges and corners.  I cut the centre base for my sentiment out of a leftover piece of Pixie Sparkled card that used Teal Marine.  I glued it into the centre then cut the Close To My Heart die in white and black and glued it on top.  I cut several of the French Marigold die in white and inked the edges with Peacock Feathers, then assembled them.  I added them in opposite corners, adding a black centre and white leaves as accents.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  9 1/2"  in size.  All for now. Sue x

    Oh a real Sue Wilson beauty to make our heart feel light and happy, Peacock Feathers is such a stunning colour and every tiny detail smiles out from your French Marigold flowers, if only they grew true to colour maybe the slugs and snails wouldn't love them as much as the bright yellow and orange ones! And of course how can we not feel that this beautiful sentiment comes from our heart to you and from me to everyone xxx

    A wonderful Sue Wilson Beauty and I will be able to reproduce this card as I was the lucky winner of your Scalloped End Rectangles. The Teal Marine and Peacock feathers are such gorgeous colours and could have been made for each other. Gorgeous x
