Floral Aperture Card

Good Morning Ladies

I hope that you are all well and that the rain has finally stopped where you are, we still have rain as I am writing this, the fields look like they have always been part of the river, you can see the flow and watch it lapping the side of the road, he ditches are all around 4 feet deep atleast and they are over flowing.  I am guessing this will mean that vegetables will go up in price again, I'm not sure how badly Lincolnshire has been affected but it was the home of most British Vegetable Farms, you could buy sacks of potatoes, cauli's sprouts, leeks all at the road side at ridiculously low prices, we certainly noticed the difference when we moved to Oxfordshire. 

Today's card is a bit of a 'Special Project'!! I had an email from a Lady saying that she absolutely loved my cards and wanted to know whether I would make some cards/projects for some of their dies, the shop is part of 'Ali-Express', It's called ''Inlovearts'', not one to turn down an opportunity I agreed, they gave me an amount to spend and I could choose what I wanted.  I chose a few sets of dies, the prices are amazing and the die cuts like a dream.

This particular die is called:

Stackable Lace Flower Frames

It's a four die set and cost just £3.96 which is an amazing price, the largest die is about 5 3/4 inch.

I took a 6 x 6 inch card blank and adhered a piece of Lilac polka dot patterned paper to the front, I then centred the largest die on the front and ran it though the die cutting machine, this gave me a decoratice aperture, I then closed the card, added glue to the back of the die cut piece and placed it back into position, this made sure it is positioned  in exactly the right place.
I die cut one of the sentiment toppers from the Paper Boutique paper collection with a circle die and adhered that to the second largest dies from the Lace Flower Frames, I then added glue and postioned on top of the die cut I had previously positioned.
Next came the embellishments, I die cut lots of different flowers out of the papers that coordinate with the Paper Boutique pad I was using. I arranged them around the outside edge of the aperture, adding some foliage sprays too.  I finished the card with some pearls placed around the die cut, I coloured some with Markers to match the papers.
I hope you like it, I have a few other ideas for this die too, so watch this space. xxx

I hope that you all have a lovely day, I have a bit of an exciting day, if all goes to plan I will tell you all about it tomorrow.

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
