You're Too Kind
Hello bloggers! I selected a piece of white card to use and stamped it in black with a texture stamp with veins in it (sorry, its from an old set and I don't recall the name of it). I inked the card with Worn Lipstick distress ink all around the edges. Next I cut a Stained Glass Rectangle in white and added a black backing piece behind it. I cut the Layered Hydrangeas in white and inked thm with Worn Lipstick and Antique Linen distress inks. I layered up the Hydrangeas and glued them to the centre, then added green leaves around each of the flower heads. I cut the You're Too Kind sentiment in black and added it to a white shadow backing piece. I added them to the card with mounting foam. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a beautiful background on this sample, cracked ice comes to mind, I am sure I have some card similar to this which I can use, the flowers and sentiment are perfect and show off the design in al it's glory, love it.

A great post and fab background that showcases the brilliant new dies perfectly…
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. I love the design of this card. I do think the flowers are very pretty although I am not too sure that they look like hydrangeas. I also like the smaller sentiments which work better for me as I am making smaller cards at the moment.
