You Are So Special
Hello bloggers! I started with a piece of white card and I cut the outer die from the Stained Glass Coneflowers into the card. I cut the outer die again but in black card and then I used it as an offset shadow behind the original cut into the card. I backed the piece with raspberry card. I cut the middle die in the set in black and layered it on to the outer die cut area. I cut the Coneflowers with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card. I used the embossed white piece to colour the Coneflowers, then I glued the black die cut on top and added it to the centre of the card. Using the Ornate Lattice Border, I cut it in white and black card. I used the black as an offset shadow behind the white one and glued it below the Stained Glass image. I cut the You Are So Special sentiment in both raspberry card and black card. I shadowed the sentiment with the black die cut then added the sentiment on to a white shadow backing piece. I added it with mounting foam to the bottom of the card. The card was compltede with white, black and raspberry mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/2" in size.

So sorry I have been missing but been laid low with a nasty chest infection. However this lovely colourful card is a real pick me up especially as I like coneflowers, just unable to grow them! Thank you Sue.
Hi Sue
The coneflowers look beautiful in their bright and cheerful colours, looking forward to tomorrow to see what delights you have in store for us
Love and hugs to everyone
