Heartfelt Thanks

Hello bloggers!  Here's another clean and simple styled card using the latest March release dies.  I cut the foliage die from the Moonflower Floral Panel die set.  I cut it in black card and then backed it with a piece of acetate that I used Pearl Tints on and allowed to dry thoroughly.  I swirled the yellow, pink and blue Pearl Tints across the acetate.  I cut the outer frame in black, but added a thin white frame to lift it slightly.  I embossed a piece of white card with the Heart Strings embossing folder, then seated the floral panel using mounting foam to the left side of the card.  I cut the Heartfelt Thanks sentiment in black and glued it to a Decorative Flag die cut in white.  I attached it off the side of the floral panel and added two small black butterflies as accents.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/4"  in size.

I will be posting the winning names from the March blog launch this afternoon so please pop back by to see if your name is on the list!  All for now, Sue x

What a beautiful design. A lovely way to use backgrounds, plus its the kind of design that all you need is a change of your lovely mini expression dies and you have a card for any occasion whether it be happy or for those sad times when we're asked for the hardest card.

Donna. I even keep the tiniest of corners knowing I'll use them for the teeny shadow box flowers or butterfly or the tiny flowers from the garden collection. I never use a full A4 unless it's for mat's and layers or for a large Noble frame xx

Good luck to all hope to see some lovely familiar names again later. Love to all, please keep safe and well xxx

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, you have used one of my favourite embossing folders on this one the heart strings, it is such an amazing product. Beautiful sample and love the colours you have used too.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Morning Sue,I do like this version of a "Thank you" sentiment as it seems to say much more than just a plain and simple, 'thankyou '. Lovely card too.

Hi Sue

What a gorgeous card in beautiful pearl tint colours. They go so well together. The thin white mat on the panel really does lift it. The acetate makes the pearl tints look like enamel. The heart strings embossing folder is a perfect choice and little butterflies are so sweet.

Love Helen xxx

Morning Sue - beautiful card, gorgeous Pearl tints too. I really must use these more! The thing that really struck me was the way the card is pulled together with a heart theme in the background and sentiment - gives a really polished look. Colleen xx

Lovely card Sue. I love the fact you can put a DL shaped panel on a square card without it looking lost. I do this a lot since seeing your posts so thank you Sue.

Hi Sue and everyone a beautiful card, its like a rainbow sunset pane l and I have the embossing folder, as others have said just change the sentiment and its a great card for any occasion. I watched all the shows showing your new dies yesterday with Jamie, although I dont think he got to do as many demonstrations as he could have it gave me some great ideas, I also loved his boxes, which I never make.

Steph, im the same, keep everything haha, you never know when you might need it.

Good luck for today everyone, whoever is chosen will be very lucky.

Hugs to all who need them today
Donna xx

Beautiful card I love the pearl tints background and the fabulous heart strings embossing folder

CCM said...

I love this design: it is different, modern and the black floral panel against the Pearl Tints on the acetate is so eye catching. The background for the foliage panel is stunning. The Heart Strings embossing folder works perfect with the sentiment. Thank you for the inspiration, Sue.

Good luck for today everyone!

Hugs from Toronto to you all.
Stay safe and healthy.

Amazing CAS, love so much how you used the branch with leaves of the new Moonflower Floral Panel!!

Judy Hollers said...

The Heart Strings Embossing folder is lovely with this design, and you have shown us how it can be used for occasions other than anniversaries and Valentine's. I do love the floral panel you have chosen for the card, and the butterflies are the perfect accent for this beautiful card. Thank you for sharing. Hugs.
