Fabulous Friend
Hi crafters! I used the Art Deco Fan Border and cut it into black gloss card four times, creating a background with it. I backed it with Amethyst card. Next I cut the centre die from the Ornate Tile die set in white. I attached it to the centre of the background in a diamond orientation. I cut the Grand Label die in Amethyst card and backed it with amethyst card. I seated it on top of the white die cut. I cut the Art Deco Fabulous Friend sentiment out of black gloss card and glued it across the label die. I added a small white flower in the corner as an accent. The card was completed with white, amethyst card and black card mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a beautiful sample and I have so many 'Fabulous Friends' that I could give this too, thanks for the inspiration Sue xx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue. What a stunning card today.I would have to say that by using your art deco dies it is so easy to make such wonderful cards with not too much effort.
Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning. Another beautiful Art Deco card. And what a lovely colour it is too. Purple shades don't really do much for me ... But today must be special because I really do like this colour. And the design, well what can I say. It's just exquisite. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds. Please stay safe and well 🙏
