Thinking Of You

Hello bloggers!  I have to admit that I have been on a kick recently to try and use up my left over background pieces and other card scraps.  So this card is a perfect example of my endeavours (but you will see more along the way!).  I started with a piece of white card as the background and cut the Thinking Of You sentiment in black and added it to a white shadow backing, then glued it to the top of the card.  Next I selected several colours of pieces of pixied card, none of which were really large enough to use as a background.  I cut them into 1/2" strips.  I covered a piece of black card with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I laid each of the strips of card down with a small gap between them.  I used Black Onyx glitter on the remaining exposed adhesive.  Next I crosscut the piece so it made small  1/2" squares.  I offset each row on another piece of card to create the section that I attached to this card.  I cut the Button Flower foliage floral panel in white then nipped the leaves away from the outer frame.  I attached it to the left of the multi square panel as an accent.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layrs.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  8 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x
