Because

Hello crafters!  I selected a piece of card that I used Beyond Blue Pixie Sparkles on, then covered with a piece of cling film and st aside to dry.  Next I used the Wrapped Pearls Frame and cut it in white.  I used the die set again but only cut the outside die to create a thin black frame.   I glued it to the background around the frame.  I cut the Noble Just Because die in both white and black.  I shadowed only the word Because with the black die cut and glued it to the inside of the frame.  I added a preprinted sentiment from the Love Wordies.  Using the Pierced Layered Blossoms, I cut the base flowers in white card covered with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled the backing off of the flowers and added a white outline die then glittered it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz and added black centres to them.  I attached them in the lower left corner of the frame with white leaves as accents.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. I wasn't too sure about the pearl frame you have used here when I first saw it because I thought it might be a bit too "chunky" for my taste. Now that I have seen it used on one of your creations I now know that I shouldn't have worried. It is just perfect.
