Wishes For A Beautiful Birthday
Hello bloggers! I started with a piece of Heather card and cut the Decorative Drapes Border twelve times in black. I glued them to the background in groups o two facing each other across the card. Next I cut the Looped Squares in white and added it to the centre of the card. I cut the Della die with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card. I coloured the white die cut piece with alcohol markers for the leaves. I glued the black die cut on top of the white one. I cut the die again out of Heather card and used the fall away pieces from the flowers and paper pieced them into the die. I stamped the sentiment from the Sending Sunshine die set and then cut the inner decorative oval to go over it. I trimmed away the excess card and added it to the middle of the die. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 9 1/4" in size.
Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning. What a great idea for you background. I love using dies to make backgrounds and it's very surprising to see what the out come is when they are grouped together like this. It's a beautiful card . Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏 Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.

Hi Sue. What a good idea to use the looped squares together with the border dies which also have loops (although slightly different), they work so well together to make such a pretty card.
Beautiful card Sue xx Hazel
