You Are The Best
Hello crafters! I selected a piece of pixied card to use as the background. I used Midnight Blue and Aqua Lagoon on it. I glued it to a larger piece of white card. Using the Poinsettia Scalloped border, I cut the lattice portion with the looped edges twice out of white card. I adhered it to the bottom of the pixied piece, then added a thin strip of the pixied card to hide the seam. I cut the Vintage Labels into a large white fame. I attached it to the background with mounting foam. Next I used the Double Stitched Octagons and cut one out of the leftover pixied card, then shadowed it with a black frame. I added a white backing to it with mounting foam, then attached it to the centre of the card. I used the You Are The Best Sentiment cut in black and glued it inside the frame. I cut three Heart Leaved Flowers and glittered them with Diamond Sprinkles. I attached them around the sentiment then added leaves from the Magnolia Corner die cut in white. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 9 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue,
I absolutely love the poinsettia scalloped border. In fact, I love everything about this card.

What a wonderful Sue Wilson design, your work always stands out way above all other designers, the more I see the scalloped border the closer to the top of my list it gets and although the relationship between me and my mum wasn't great it reminds me of the delicate intricate icing work she did when decorating cakes for all occasions, and I can't forget my favourite background using clingfilm, I couldn't get it looking right for a while until Muriel talked me through it again lol, I do hope she's OK it's been ages since we've seen her comment.
Sending love to all that visit today xx
Beautiful card Sue, the pixie background is lovely.

Hi Sue. Love the white frame underneath the hexagons which shows that we should all be thinking about using different die sets together. Nice to see the pretty flowers back in action.
