Sincere Thanks

Hello bloggers!  I reached into my pixied background stash for this one!  I cannot take the credit for it, however, my Grandkids made this one on their last visit.  I thought it was such a beautiful soft look that I just had to use it!  They used a combination of Candy Pink, Aqua Lagoon and Rich Gold Pixie Powders.  Using the Scalloped End Rectangles, I cut a wide white frame and added mounting foam to the back of it.  I attached it to the centre of the card.  I used the Layered Magnolias and cut them in white.  I used a combination of Distress Inks on them including Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber and Antique Linen.  I assembled the inked flowers and added them to a brown stem with green leaves and yellow buds attached.  I used the flowers to sort of curl around the opposite corners of the frame.  I cut the Sincere Thanks sentiment in black and glued it inside the frame.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh what a stunning creation, it must run in the genes, your grandchildren have inherited your crafting skills. I hope you take them into the family firm, ha ha.

The flowers look amazing, congratulate them for us, they really are a chip off the old block. (a cockney saying).

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
