Just Because You Are So Special
Hello crafters! I just love these Slimline All In Ones, they make card making so easy! I started by cutting the You Are So Special die out of black card and using it as my base. I glued a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet added it as a backing to the die cut, then sprinkled Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on it. I cut the die two more times, once in blue dusk card and once in khaki green card. I nipped all of the leaves out of the green die cut and glued them to the black base card. Next I cut the three flowers out of the blue die cut and glued them to the base card. I used a white pencil and a blue pencil to highlight the flowers and leaves. I cut a frame using the Slimline Double Stitched Rectangles out of blue dusk card and added the slimline to the centre of it. I embossed a piece of white card with the Rope Chain embossing folder and added the slimline die to the centre of it. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 5 3/4" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, well Sue you must have read my mind with this one because I have a pot of the Frosted Sparkle Gliterblitz sitting on my craft table, so this sample is already started for me, I agree that the slimline DL's are a brilliant card size and with the matching dies they are so easy, the blue on here is perfect, now to find my dies.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
This is beautiful Sue, such a pretty shade of blue. Why not send a card just because .... email, text and video call have their place but sometimes something extra special means the world. This sentiment is beautiful and for everyone here xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a beautiful card. The shade of blue you have used is gorgeous and the shading on the flowers makes them look very lifelike. The sentiment is lovely.
