For A Special Friend

 Hello bloggers!  I embossed a piece of white card with the Padded Quilt embossing folder.  I cut the Looped Ovals die in white an added it to the background with mounting foam.  I used a smoothie and added some Tumbled Glass distress ink towards the top of it.  Using the Double Stitched Ovals, I cut a thin white frame and added it to the Looped Ovals with mounting foam, showing the blue inked area in the top.    Using the Floral Medley die set, I cut a variety of flowers in different sizes and colours.  I used lilac, soft lavender and heather card for the flowers.  I cut green stems and leaves and assembled the flowers all together.  I added them into the frame to create a sort of wildflower field.  Using the Bountiful Butterflies, I cut two of them out of black card with a piece of white card underneath.  I coloured the white card and glued the butterfly dies on top then added them inside the frame.  I cut the For A Special Friend sentiment in black and added it on to a white shadow backing piece then attached it below the frame with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8 1/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  


All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. What a lovely vision of summer today with this card. It's a pity the same can't be said for the view outside my window today. There are so many pretty flowers they look as though they are bursting out of the frame.
