Hello
Hello my crafty friends! I selected a piece of ruby red card for the background. I used the lattice die from the Decorative Drapes Border to cut twice into the card on both sides. I backed it with a piece of black card coated with Black Onyx Glitterbitz I cut the Hazel die out of white card and cut it in half. Then I cut the Hazel die again but out of a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card. I used the white card to colour the image with alcohol ink markers. I glued the black die cut on top, then used the inner oval cutting die to cut the centre out of the die. I added mounting foam to the back of the die to raise it and I added the stamped sentiment from the Sending Sunshine stamp set. I added the halves of the white Hazel die to the top and bottom of the coloured Hazel die cut and attached it in the middle of the card. I cut the centre decorative die in white and glued it around the aperture. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 3/4" in size.

Morning Sue, it has been a long time since I commented on here. I have had a long break from crafting for various reasons but glad to say I am getting my mojo back again. What a stunning card, love that ruby red card! Love Jean xxx
Hi Sue. What a striking card today. Love the red with black and white and it's really interesting how you have extended the main image using a white die cut underneath and outside the main image.
Looking forward to your next launch.

Great to see you back JEAN PHILLIPS. Hope you are well.
Like the design, but the red background isn't to my taste. WakeyL
What a bold, striking offering we have today, that will really stand out on anyone’s mantle piece. Thank you Sue. Looking forward to your new launch tomorrow.
The red is beautiful but I’m sorry to say that the overall side sign is not really to my taste although I love what you’ve done with the design.
Excited for tomorrow. X
Hi Sue

Stunning card I love the bold bright colours with the touch of glitter and the pretty Hazel die
Hi Sue, this card is amazing and I love the richness of the black and red. It is the polar opposite of what I would normally go for but it is stunning. Looking forward to the launch tomorrow.
A welcome return Jean Phillips, good to have you back again.
