Birthday Wishes
Hello crafters! I started today's card by cutting an aperture in the middle of a piece of white card using the Art Deco Ornate Tile die. Next I embossed it with the Tidal Sands Embossing folder. I added mounting foam to the back of the embossed piece to raise it and added it to a piece of deep purple card. Next I cut the Art Deco Fan Border out of black card and I extended it to make a longer border. I cut the border down the middle to make two separate borders. I cut two long thin pieces of black card and glued them to the cut sides of the border. I glued the two borders to each side of the card. Using the Art Deco Ornate Tile die, I cut it out of wisteria card. I cut the die again but out of black card this time. I shadowed the wisteria die with it then added it to the centre of the card recessing it into the aperture. I cut the Art Deco Birthday Wishes out of white and black card. I shadowed it then glued it to the middle of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Good Evening Sue and all that visit today.
I am loving these Art Deco sample cards Sue. Such wonderful shapes and designs. Even your lovely embossing folder fits in place with the main dies. I am hoping Santa Clause will have a few of these dies to put in my stocking in a few weeks time. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds. Please stay safe and well 🙏
A gorgeous Art Deco card Sue. Xx
