Thinking Of You
Hello crafters! Today's card features the Butterfly Cluster in pretty yellows, reds and oranges! I started by cutting the Postage Stamp Rectangles out of black for the larger size and Marigold for the slightly smaller rectangle. I layered the two postage stamp frames up and added mounting foam to the back to raise it. I attached them to a piece of white card. Next I cut the Butterfly Cluster with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card as I cut it. I used the white card to colour the image with markers. Once coloured, I glued the black die cut on top. I seated the cluster at the bottom edge of the frame with mounting foam. I cut the Large Thinking of You sentiment in black and glued it inside the frame. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, gorgeous sample today, a very clever way of cutting and colouring the flowers. Stay safe, healthy and happy, Hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue. Ooooh, this really stands out, its beautiful how the colours you've chosen calls out look at me, I need to take pride of place, choose the more soothing pastel colours and it would be so relaxing, one of those 'can't take my eyes off' type of cards if it makes sense! Hope you're well. Me xxx
