Missing You
Hello crafters! I selected one of my Midnight Blue Pixie Powdered backgrounds to use for this card. I used the Shadow die from the Missing You sentiment and cut an aperture in the middle of the card. I added mounting foam to the back to raise it and added a white backing card to the back. Using the Decorative Border die set, I cut four of the triple square borders in white and added black backings to them. I had to extend them a bit but they are easy to line up and extend. I attached them to all four sides and mitred the corners with my scissors. I cut the Missing You sentiment in black and recessed it into the aperture opening. I cut several of the Pierced Summer Blossoms in white and used Blueprint Sketch Distress ink and edged all of the flowers before assembling them. I added them around the sentiment with white leaves as accents. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday everyone x
What a beauty. The midnight blue Pixied background sings to me. Love the blue accents on the Summer Blossoms - coordinates perfectly with the background. A very appropriate sentiment as I’ve been ‘missing’ from the blog since last Friday. Good to be back x
Marion Scott - Congratulations on your win. I can imagine you’re excitement - 16 brand new dies. Me, jealous? A little 😂
Take care one and all x
