Thinking Of You

Hello bloggers!  I selected a piece of Blue Dusk card for my background (and I apologize that the rest of the pics look like a different colour, not sure why, but the top pic is actually the colour of this card).  I used the Decorative Squared Rectangles and cut it into the background.  I backed it with white card.  I inked the Petunia Stampcut die in black ink and ran it through the die cutting machine.  I used alcohol ink markers to colour the image.  I added it inside the centre of the card with mounting foam.  I cut the Noble Thinking Of You in black and arranged it around the focal element.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8 3/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue.
Regardless of the colour change I'm sure everyone that leaves a comment today will all love this inspiration, you could almost say you've shown us two colour options for this inspiration as we do sometimes talk about switching background colours for a change of gender or occasion so we have a variable two-fer this bank holiday Saturday.
Hope everyone is feeling OK and have a lovely day whatever your plans, wherever you are xxx

A real statement piece that will stand out on any shelf. I do like CAS cards & this one being blue is certainly another winner. Thank you Sue.

Hi Sue
Happy Saturday everyone x
Love the blue dusk and although some of your pictures don’t show the true colour it does not detract from the beauty of this card. Your stampcut dies really make a statement and are a wonderful focal point on any card. Don’t see petunias very often so this card is a beautiful treat x
Take care everyone x
Sending positive thoughts to all x

Hi Sue. I love the way that cutting the rectangle die into the card creates a frame for the pretty flowers without actually creating a frame!

Hi Sue, I love this card, it is beautiful in its simplicity. The stampcut petunias are perfect and I think I really need - not just want - the Decorative Squared Rectangles.
