Best Wishes
Hello there my crafty friends! Here is a quick card in case you need one! I cut the Anniversary Hearts in white. I covered a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet, then pulled the backing paper off and attached the Anniversary Hearts to it. Next I used several shades of polished silk glitter (Light Purple, Rose Copper and Candian Blue )and randomly coated the exposed adhesive areas with it. I cut a white frame using the Slimline Stitched Rectangles and added it with mounting foam over the background. I used the Slimline Looped Rectangles and added a mat cut from them out of white card. I cut the Best Wishes sentiment in black and glued it to a piece of white vellum. I cut both ends into forks and glued it across the bottom of the card. I added some white flatback pearls as accents. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 5 1/4" x 9 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue and everyone that visits. Not much to say really about today's inspiration apart from small but sweet, just perfect for a lovely quick card to pop into the post or to pop through someone's letter box. Sending much love and caring hugs all round xxx
Hi Sue Happy Thursday everyone x Oh yes please. Slimline - my favourite. That background is stunning. My attempts with glitter never ever turn out like that. They always seem to mix together and I am never able to get such a distinct difference in the colours like you have here! The anniversary hearts have shot to the top of my wish/want list x Take care everyone x Sending positive thoughts to all x Crafty hugs x PP Yvonne x
Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning. What a delightful card this morning Sue and ... one of my favourite shapes too ... slimline is always a winner in my book. Those little hearts look so lovely too. I think this die must have been another one I missed from the last launch. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏 Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
Loving the different colours in your background, makes for a more modern look. I know my married granddaughters would approve of this one! Thank you Sue.
Hi Sue. What a lovely card today, and if you hadn't told me that it was quick and easy to make, I would have thought that it would have been more difficult because it looks so detailed. Love the colours of glitter that you have used.
