One of the dies that I use a lot from Spellbinders is the word YOU
This simple die can be teamed up with so many stamps to say just about anything that you like
I like to cut the word from Craft foam and then add it to the word cut again in card that matches my design.
It really makes a statement piece on your creations and is very tactile for the recipient.
Here I have just used a matt black card and black craft foam
The background to my card is created with the Criss Cross pattern
I have added in raised panels at the top and bottom using the Curved Borders One
My beautiful flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and are a mixture of Gysophillia, Roses, Camellia, small buds and some Cherry blossoms
I have also added in some long curly stems to the display and used both blue and white flowers
The steel Gray pearls are from Want2Scrap and the butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch called Monarch
The stamp set I have used is Simply Said - You from Avery Elle and there are lots of sentiments on the sheet making it a very useful addition to my "Stash"
More tomorrow ...
