Hi Bloggers.
Here's today's card -
I started by stamping the sentiment from John Lockwood's Fern Frames Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archvial. I then stamped the Regal Blossom Inner Frame around it, again using Jet Black Archival. I coloured in using Distress Markers. I started by adding Blueprint Sketch to the shaded areas on the flowers. I pulled the colour out using a Water Brush. I then scribbled some Mermaid Lagoon onto my Craft Sheet and added a little to the flowers using my Water Brush. I seemed to have a little sparkle from the Lovely Lights Sparkle Pigment Set I used when last on Hochanda so that was a bit of a bonus! I edged the frame with Blueprint Sketch. I cut out using a die from Sue Wilson's Heraldic Square Die Set and added some Rhinestones to the flower centres.
I cut the largest die from the same set out of Coconut White Card. I cut one of Sue's Double Pierced Squares out of Coconut White Card and then another layer using the Set B.
I cut Sue's Charming Lace Trim out of Deep Blue Card 4 times and added the die cuts around the frame.
I finished the card by cutting some more layers using both of Sue's Double Pierced Squares Sets and adding some White Pearl Corners.

Lovely central focal element & the sentiment is so true as I do believe that every day is a bonus not to be wasted.
