Just Because
Hi crafters! I used the Sea Garden embossing folder and embossed a piece of white card to use as the background for today's card. Next I inked the Magnolia Stampcut die with black water based ink and ran it through the die cutting machine. I used alcohol based markers to colour the image, keeping the flowers mostly white but using a bit of blue to highlight them. I added them in the lower corner with mounting foam. I cut the Noble Just Because sentiment in white and added a black die cut behind as a shadow. I glued the sentiment to the top of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all that pop by.
