A daily papercrafting blog which features my handmade cards showcasing Creative Expression's products including my own line of cutting dies and embossing folders, Cosmic Shimmer, Ranger and more which use various techniques and ideas to hopefully inspire the creativity in you.
Hello bloggers! I started this glittery card by selecting a piece of white card as the background and cutting two circular frames using the Double Stitched Circles. I added mounting foam to the frames and attached them in opposite corners. I used the Floral Wishes die and cut it twice out of green card to use as the bases. Next, I cut the die again out of blue card and purple card. I added glue to all the flowers and then used several different Polished Silk Glitters on them. I used Canadian Blue, Light Purple, Periwinkle and Vintage Violet glitter colours. I nipped away the glittered flowers and added them on to the green base die cuts. I moved the flowers around a bit so they weren't exactly the same in the frames. I cut the banner with the You Are The Best Sentiment in it and nipped it away from the die and mounted it between the two frames. I paper pieced the saying in black so it showed up better. I added two small, glittered butterflies in the upper corner. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x 9 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. What a lovely spring-like card for this stormy day here in the UK and it would be fairly easy to scale it down to make a smaller card.
