I Smile When I Think Of You

 Hello crafters!  For today's card, I started by stamping the crackle stamp from the Sending Sunshine stamp set in black all the way around a piece of white card.  Next I inked it with a combination of  Picked Raspberry and Worn Lipstick.  I cut the Della die with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card.   I used alcohol ink markers to colour the leaves but I paper pieced the flowers with raspberry card.  I glued the black die cut on top of the white one, then added it to the middle of the card with mounting foam.  I cut the sentiment with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card.  I used the middle die from the Della to cut them.  I added the word to the white die cut and taped it to the centre of the card.  The card was completed with white, raspberry and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8"  in size.  


All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another gorgeous creation, love the colouring and the way you have done the paper piecing, I love that technique, I also like the fact that it is an 8" x 8" card, not good for postage as the costs are going up and up all the time but for hand delivered it is perfect. I have this on my list.

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