Thought Of You Today

Hi crafters!  Here's another simple floral panel card for today's offering.  I cut the foliage panel from the Moonflower Floral Panel die set into a piece of white card on both sides of the card.  I backed it with white vellum for a softer look.  For the centre panel, I cut the same die again but I cut a white and a black version and did an offset shadow.  I covered a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet then cut the rectangle backing piece out of it.  I used the Golden Rose Aurora Flakes on the exposed adhesive, then used it as a backing piece for the centre panel.  I added a white frame around it then added it to the centre of the card with mounting foam.  I cut the Thought Of You Today sentiment in black and glued it to the lower corner of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  8 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. My kind of card, something beautiful, clean, very fresh looking. That panel of aura flakes with the snowy white vellum just gives the whole design a very expensive feel. It's really pretty Sue, on the rare occasion I make something I'm really proud of or can't stop looking at I'll guarantee it's a plain but pretty card, this inspiration I'd have to have on show for as long as I could to prove to myself I can do it. It's put a real smile on my face.
Stay safe well and happy xxx

Hi Sue. Love the background of the center panel of this card. Not too sure about the other panels although I suspect they probably look better in real life.

Morning Sue - this is gorgeous. I’ve never used aurora flakes but after seeing this, I think I must add them to my *need* list! Colleen xx

Hi Sue

Very pretty card.

Love Helen xxx

Love this card. That sentiment is so very useful. I have family that is distant and have not been able to see plus just a card to send a friend. I love getting cards for no particular reason and I think others do as well.
After my mother died, I saw some family I have not seen since this pandemic began but who want a funeral to be the only time you see loved ones? I am off subject, sorry. The card is beautiful and a good way to reach out to others.

This is a simple but stunning card Sue.
The sentiment is just right, but would also suit so many of your other wonderful sentiment dies.

Hi Sue and everyone what a stunning card today I like the centre panel and i bet it looks even better in real life. I also think this card would look amazing all white too. And could be used for many occasions. A very elegant design Sue.
