Missing You

Hello bloggers!  I selected a piece of aqua striped card from the Dots 'N Stripes Paper Pad to use as the background.  I added a piece of white card to the bottom of the card.  Using the Layered Sunflowers, I cut the flowers in two shades of yellow card.  I cut brown centres and assembled all the pieces.  I attached the flowers in a curved line between the two card types.  I added glued to all the centres then added clear Micro beads to them and let them dry.  I cut the leaves out of two shades of green card and assembled them, then added them as accents to the flowers.  I cut the Missing You sentiment out of Ocean card and glued it to the top of the card.  I added two yellow  Butterflies from the Dainty Butterfly set to the top of the card.  The card was completed with white and Ocean card mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue and hi to all that visit this beautiful blog.
Today's inspiration is beautiful, its clean, fresh, quick to put together and meaningful. The idea is there for crafters like myself that don't have the dies used here, that any of our floral dies and expression dies would look beautiful., although the day has arrived for me to order a new Spring flower die and a new expression from the January launch, if only I could have been able to be there each day of the first 2023 launch rather than feeling depressed and upset stuck in a hospital ward!!! A dreadful time in the past, but I have something to look forward to, the excitement of 2 new dies.
Sending much love to you and to those that come through the door today and those that window shop xxx

Hi Sue, yes, a most appropriate card for today, I loved this at the launch and really like the way the microbeads bring the sunflowers to life.
