On Your Special Day
Hello crafters! I started by embossing a piece of white card with the Heart To Heart Embossing folder for some texture in the background. Next I cut the Stained Glass Rectangles out of raspberry card. I taped together three of the dies and cut it. I added them to a piece of white card, then cut the centre out. I added mounting foam to the back to raise it and added it onto the embossed background. I cut the On Your Special Day in black and glued it inside the frame. I used the Pierced Layered Flowers and cut two flowers out of white card covered with a sticky adhesive sheet. I added Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz to the flowers, then assembled them and added pink centres. I seated the two flowers in the lower corner of the frame and added white leaves as accents. I added the entire piece to a larger piece of white card where I added double sided sticky tape around the edges, the coated it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 9 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue. This is my own personal opinion and its the colour.... I find the raspberry quite a harsh colour unless used to combine within a floral die, maybe the centre of a flower or as a shadow behind a sentiment or something similar. Today's inspiration is beautiful, I'm just not a lover of 'harsh pastel' that doesn't mean it's not a favourite of mine, far from it, I love it. Hugs to you both and to all our friends that pop in today, stay safe and well xxx
Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning. I think this is a lovely card and very fitting for most occasions ... But I am inclined to agree with our Stephanie about the vivid pink. I love pinks but this is a bit too pink for me. I would recreate this in my favourite Blues and Turquoise shades.Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a beautiful creation today, from the glitter background behind the hearts EF, to the sentiment in the centre with the flowers, absolutely perfect, love it.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
