With Love and Best Wishes

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

I started by spritzing a piece of Watercolour Card with water. I then added CS Pixie Powders in Burnt Orange and Straw Yellow and put aside to dry.

I cut the largest die in Sue Wilson's Swirly Vine Background Die Set together with a die from Sue's Double Pierced Squares Set B out of Coconut White Card. I glued this to a square of my PP Background Card.

I made a frame out of Coconut White Card using Sue's Double Pierced Squares and mounted it onto a piece of Coconut White Card cut slightly larger. glued the Swirling Vine Background piece into the aperture.

I stamped the sentiment from Phill Martin's Butterfly Elegance Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using die #2 from Sue's Bora Bora Die Set. I cut dies #3 and #4 together out of Coconut White Card and also dies#5 and #6. I cut die #6 and die #6 out of my PP Background Card. I glued and stacked and added them to the centre of the Swirling Vine Background. I added a 5mm White Pearl to the corners of the background that were peeking out from behind my topper.

I made to flower corners from Coconut White Card and my PP Background Card using Sue's Star Flower Cluster Die Set. I added a 3mm White Pearl to the centre of each flower.


I finished my card by adding an 8mm White Pearl to the corners of my frame and I added another Coconut White Card mat.
