On Your Special Day

Hi Bloggers,

Here's today's card -

I started by cutting the largest die in Sue Wilson's Elegant Laced Edger Die Set out of Coconut White Card 4 times. I then selected a couple of dies from the Spellbinders 6 x 6 Matting Basics B Die Set and cut them out of Lilac Card. I glued the Laced Edger die cuts around the frame using Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue. Mine overlap slightly - if you don't want them to overlap, simply choose a larger Matting Basics Die.

I embossed a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Bed of Roses Embossing Folder and popped the frame over it. I cut a Spellbinders 6 x 6 Matting Basics A die out out Coconut White Card and matted the frame onto it.

I stamped the sentiment from John Lockwood's Flower Hearts Elements Clear Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using the smallest die in Sue's Lisbon Die Set. I cut the next 2 dies in the set together out of Coconut White Card and just the plain die out of Lilac Card.

I assembled the card as shown piercing around the edges.
