For You

Hello crafters!  I started with a piece of aqua card and used the Decorative Squared Octagons to cut five rows into the card as a background.  I used the Double Stitched Octagons and made a white frame to go around the background.  I added it with mounting foam to raise it.  Next I cut the Sunflower Stained Glass Circle in white.  I glued it to a piece of clear acetate.  Using the Crystal Tints, I filled in the flower, leaves and background with the tints and set it aside to dry thoroughly.  I cut one more of the Sunflower dies and glued it on top of the original to hide any areas where the tint touched the top of the die.  I glued the flower to the centre of the card, then added some Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz to the centre of the flower.    I stamped the For You sentiment and added it with foam mounting tape across the top of the flower.  I added the octagon to another piece of white card and used pearls in the corners as accents.  Th card was completed with white and aqua mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8"   in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. What lovely spring colours on this card today. I am really impressed how versatile these dies are. I think it is because they are small enough to fit into designs using most of your backgrounds.

I lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn't get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Wilfred helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I never believe it but I took the risk to take a loan of $1000. and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I earn $12,500 in 6 working days, the most joy is that I can now take care of my family I don't know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services.
