Cherish Every Moment

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -
Ha ha! Looking at this photo the flower looks huge but I don't usually use the largest flower in a die set so this time I did! I doesn't look that big in real life! Anyhow, I like it!

So, the background is Coconut White Card embossed with the Creative Expressions Bed of Roses Embossing Folder.

I cut the largest die from Sue Wilson's Auckland Die Set out of Wisteria Card. I then cut the largest 2 dies together out of Coconut White Card twice. I glued these 2 die cuts together and then glued them onto the Wisteria die cut. I 'coloured' in the flowers in the die cut using CS Crystal Sparkle PVA (some on order!) and put aside to dry. Once dry, I cut the largest 2 dies in the Auckland Die Set again and then added this die cut to the top of the others to give a neat finish.

I stamped the sentiment from Phill Martin's Mini Baroque Inspirational Sentiments Stamp Set using Blue Violet Archival. I cut it out using a die from Sue's Wellington Die Set. I cut a mat out of Wisteria Card using a die from the Auckland Die Set.

I cut some leaves out of Coconut White Card using Sue's Laced Edged Leaves. I made a huge flower (lol) using Sue's Orange Blossom Complete Petals and Open Petals and added an 8mm White Pearl.


I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearl Corners and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

The winner of the card from Freebie Friday on 12th February is...............

Anne (Northampton)

  23. Hello Julia.

    Beautiful card. Seeing this beautiful card I now realise I'm going to have to have the Auckland die set and CS Crystal Sparkle PVA is another must have, lol. Don't talk like that about the size of your flower, you will give it a complex, lol. Thanks for sharing.

    Congratulations Anne (Northampton)

    Best wishes
