There's No Place Like Home

Hi there my crafty friends!  I selected a piece of Silver Sparkle alcohol ink card and I cut the Budding Blooms die.  I cut the die again out of black card.  I added a white base behind the back die cut then cut the die several more times to use the fall away pieces for paper piecing.  I cut it with pale pink, ocean, raspberry and green card.  I paper pieced all the flowers into place, then added the silver sparkle card slightly offset over the top of the black die cut.  I cut a larger piece of white card and added a wide strip of Heather card to the bottom.  I used a score board and added some detail to the heather card and added a thin strip of silver card between the join area.  I cut the Congratulations sentiment in black and glued it to the bottom of the card.  I cut the There's No Place Like Home sentiment in black and added it to the top of the Budding Blooms die cut.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x
