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.  


All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, I am so pleased that you have done a DL card today, I have got one of these dies with the rest on order, so I can have a play when they arrive. The close up pictures are amazing.

Gorgeous post and think it is possibly my favourite of the ones you have shared. Works really well in the slimline rectangle.
