Best Wishes
Hello crafters! I selected a piece of black card and embossed it with the Padded Quilt embossing folder. Next I cut two of the Looped Ovals in white and layered them, then attached them to the background. I cut the Rose Cluster with a piece of antique gold card on top of a piece of white card. I used the whit copy to colour the images with markers. I glued the gold die cut on top and added it to the bottom of the two ovals with mounting foam. I cut the Best Wishes sentiment out of Corn flower blue card and shadowed it with the antique gold card and glued it to the top open area of the Looped ovals. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
