Welcome Friend
Hello crafters! I cut a piece of black card and covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet. I peeled the backing paper off and coated it with Pink Sunset Gilding Flakes. Next I cut the Floral Symphony Cover Plate with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card. I paper pieced the flowers in shades of pink and orange. I offset the black die on top of the paper pieced copy, then added the die to the gilded piece of card. I cut the Welcome Friend sentiment in white, shadowed it in black and glued it to the bottom of the card. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size.
Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning. Another lovely card. Somehow this reminds me of an Indian mosaic pattern. I don't know if it is the colours that give this impression ... As I have said before ... Black is not my favourite background colour ... But there is something that is drawing me to it. I think you may be converting me. 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 lovely card today. The gilding flake background looks stunning in the close-up pictures. For those who are not so keen on black, perhaps they could try using a different dark colour card and see how it turns out.
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another beautiful creation, the close up of the backgrounds really do show the stunning mixture of colours.

A very striking card today but I think it’s one we really need to see in real life to appreciate its beauty. Thank you Sue.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a very nice card. The main picture looks sombre but the close-ups show the real colours of the gilding flakes.

Wow, stunning post. Love the colours and these plates make it so easy to make beautiful cards.
ReplyDeleteSorry Sue but this one doesn’t really appeal to me. I’m not sure why as all the elements are great as always. X
ReplyDeleteSuper card Sue, very stylish.
