Just Because

Hello crafters!  Do you recall me saying that I have been trying to use up some of my scrap card?  Well this card is another one of those creations that uses a bit of card from my background stash, but it was sort of long and much thinner than most pieces that I start with, but I came up with a layout that fit the shape and size for it!  I used Tantalising Turquoise and Apple Fizz Lustre Polish all over a piece of card.  Once dry, I used the Floral Brocade embossing folder on the piece for texture.  Next I cut the Decorative Squares and cut one larger square and two smaller squares in white and with the centres of them cut out as well.  I used the outermost die from the Claire die set and cut it in white.  I added the largest frame to the centre of the card in the diamond orientation.  I attached the two smaller frames slightly overlapping on either side and the Claire die frame on top of the centre die cut.  I used the Magnolia Corner and cut it in white.  I used the small flower dies from that set and cut them out of a small piece of leftover card from the background and made a single flower.  I attached the flower to the left side of the centre frame and added the Magnolia Corner die cut nipped into pieces as accents.  I cut the Decorative Flag die in white and added the Just Because sentiment also cut from the leftover lustre polish piece.  I added the sentiment to the white shadow backing die cut and glued it onto the flag.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.   The finished dimensions are 6" x 10" in size.     All for now, Sue x
