Thank You

Hi Bloggers.

Today's card was a variation of one that Sue Wilson made. I had slightly different dies on the One Day Special shows so I remade it so I could demo it and didn't really manage to demo much of it after all!

For the background, I embossed a piece of Coconut White Card using the Creative Expressions Dotted Daisies Embossing Folder - my piece of card just fitted perfectly. I matted onto Custard Card, Pastel Green Card and another piece of Coconut White.

I cut Sue's Hobnail Vase out of Coconut White Card 3 times. I trimmed the top third off one and on another I removed the feet and cut two thirds off it. I added CS Pearl Lustre Gilding Polish to all 3 vases.

I cut the 2 dies with flowers on them from Sue's Lily of the Valley Die Set out of Pastel Green Card 4 times and out of Coconut White Card twice. I removed the flowers from 2 of the Pastel Green die cuts as I wanted just the foliage from these. I removed the flower buds from the White die cuts a few at a time and glued them to the 2 remaining complete Pastel Green Die Cuts. I arranged these on my card with the tallest vase added on top with several layers of CE Mounting Cushion.

I cut the Daffodils from Sue's Spring Daffodils Die Set out of Rich Green and out of Custard Card. I cut the heads off the Custard ones and glued them to the Green ones. I cut 3 trumpet pieces out, shaped them and added them to my flowers. I arranged them on my card inside the middle sized vase which I added with layers of Mounting Cushion. I also added a little more foliage by cutting the dies once more.

For the little vase, I cut the small foliage dies from the Lily of the Valley Die Set several times out of Pastel Green and Rich Green Card.

I stamped my sentiment from the Creative Expressions Petite Lavish Sentiments onto Coconut White Card using Watering Can Archival. I cut it out using one of the pair of dies from Sue's Indonesian Collection Mini Frames Die Set. I cut the outer die out of Custard Card and glued the the 2 pieces together, adding my sentiment with a piece of Mounting Cushion.

I completed my card by adding a 5mm White Pearl to each corner.
