You're Beautiful In Every Way

Good Sunday morning all!  How about a clean and simple card for the day?  I started with a piec of white card.  I used Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers and Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide inks across the top of the card using a smoothie, blending the colours together.  Next I attached a piece of sticky adhesive sheet to a piece of copy paper.  I cut strips of various shades of card (teal, ocean, lilac and aqua) and added them to the sticky adheisve sheet in rows.  I cut the Bold Beautiful die word on the diagonal  through the strips of card.  I added mounting foam to raise it and attached it to the centre of the card.  I used the stamps that come with the die to add two mre parts of the sentiment, above and below the word Beautiful.   The card was completed with whte mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/2"   in size.  All for now, Sue x
