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
Happy 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
Sending you all positive thoughts x

A great post. Love how you have used what would have been the 'waste' to recess the sentiment. Fab colour as well...

Hi Sue. Love the sentiment on this card. I think it is great so have a variety of different sentiment dies in your stash - you never know when you are going to need something different and I love the way you have recessed it into the blue foreground.
