To A Dear Friend
Hello crafters! I started this card by embossing a piece of white card with the Padded Quilt embossing folder. Next I used Jamie's Postage Stamp Octagons and cut a larger black one and then a slightly smaller Periwinkle one. I used mounting foam to put them together and then I added a white backing to them and glued them to the embossed background. I cut the Daisy Cluster with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card. I used the bottom white piece to colour the embossed image with markers, then I glued the black die cut on top of it. I added it to the bottom of the octagon frames with mounting foam. I added black micro beads to the centres of the daisies in the cluster. I cut the To A Dear Friend sentiment in black and glued it to the top inside of the frames. I added small pearls to the embossed background. The card was completed with white, black and periwinkle mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6" x 6" in size. All for now Sue x
