Congratulations

 Hi bloggers!  I started today's card by cutting the outer die from the Stained Glass Sunflower twice, once in Cobalt blue and once in black.  I offset the two colours of the outer die, then cut the middle die in white and layered it up on top.  I cut the Sunflower die out of a piece of black card and added a white backing piece to it.  I cut the die again out of cobalt blue and green card and used the fall away pieces and paper pieced it back in place.  I cut the die in white and used it for the background pieces of the die.  I added glue to the flower centres and sprinkled Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on it.  I layered it up on to the middle of the card.  I cut the Ornate Lattice Border out of cobalt blue and shadowed it in black then glued it to the bottom of the card.  I cut the Congratulations sentiment in black and glued it above the border.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8 1/4" in size. 


The winner of the November die release Blog launch is........................................................................................................................................................................................................ Heather Toms!!!
