Happy Spring
Hello bloggers! I covered a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet, then glittered it with Diamond White glitter to use as the background. Next I cut the Chunky Blossoms die so that I was able to make five different floral pots for the bottom row and five for the top row of the card. I selected a variety of soft pastel colours to use, mixing them up as I went. For the centre of the card, I cut the Happy Spring sentiment out of gloss white card. I added mounting foam to the backs of each letter, then added them to the backing piece which I had embossed by using a piece of white card under the gloss white card used to cut the letters. This makes lining the letters up a breeze. I added the sentiment to the middle of the card with mounting foam. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x

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