We're In This Together

Hello crafters!  I started with a piece of coconut white card.  I inked the Elemental Swirl Stamp with a clear Perfect Medium pad and stamped it randomly all around the edge of the card, reinking in between each stamping.  I heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Next I cut the Scalloped End Rectangle Noble die set out of Arctic Blue card.  I cut three consecutive sizes and layered them up in the centre of the card.  I used the We're In This Together sentiment duo, cutting both sentiments in white and adding a black shadow behind them.  I attached both sentiments to the front of the card.  Using the French Marigold die set, I cut enough flowers to make three scrunched flowers using powder pink card as the base.  I used the Worn Lipstick Distress ink over the tips of the flowers once they were assembled.   I attached them to opposite corners and added green leaves as accents.  I cut the Bauble Branch in white and also added these as accents around the flowers.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  9 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue, we're in this beautiful inspirational blog together and I couldn't be happier as I've found some close friends here. Apart from this truly amazing beautiful design, my thoughts were 'if only I had the expression at the start of world lockdown' it just seems such an appropriate sentiment as everyone here was sitting under the same frightening sky at the time and we felt safer here as daft as it may seem. Anyway yes I'm getting sentimental because we ALL got through our covid battle together, it's beautiful Sue, really really beautiful xxx

Good Morning Sue. Firstly I apologise for my absence since last week. We went on a dance festival in Fleetwood and only just got home yesterday. The internet wasn't very good so I couldn't post.
Today's card is ... Just beautiful Sue. And I was lucky enough to win this sentiment set when it was launched. It's my very dear friends birthday in a couple of weeks so I am thinking I could recreate this for her. She would love this. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
PLEASE KEEP STAYING 🙏 🙏 🙏
Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds
