Have A Great Day
Hello bloggers! I have a slimline card to share with you today! I started by creating the frame first. I used the Slimline Stitched Rectangle Frame set. I cut a white frame with them, then added a black frame on top using the Slimline Essential Frames. I added mounting foam to the back of the frame then cut a piece of white card to attach it to. Before attaching the frame, I sponged some blue at the top of the piece, then cut three hills using the Stitched Hills and Clouds and added them to the bottom of the card. I cut the Fish Shop in grey and added blue awning, door and sign. I added it to the bottom of the card with mounting foam. I added a lamppost next to it. I cut both the Bookshop and the Flower shop in grey. I used iris card for the windows, door and awning on the Book shop. I used pink card for the accents on the flower shop. I added the buildings with mounting foam, then added some trees and clouds around them as accents. I added the Have A Great Day sentiment which was cut from the Wordie Sheets. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 43/4" x 9" in size.
