Take time ....

Here is my card this week for Crafter's Companion.

I love these Create-a-Card dies so much I thought I would make another!!

It is made using the Create a Card Enchanted Die from Crafter's Companion.

To make the card I cut, embossed and inked the embossed area twice.

I then cut another piece of Centura Pearl Card 1/4" larger than the die cut for both die cuts.

I then inked the edges of all the pieces and then using an edger tool roughened

up the edges and then used glitter glue lightly on the edges. 

I made a 7" x 7" Easel card and adhered the layers with 3D glue to the card.

The sentiment was stamped on the oval cut and then adhered so

 it sat lower than the front of the card.

The stopper for the card is the centre of the die cut adhered with 3D glue.

(I did cut and extra centre so that it raised evenly)

I die cut the Die'sire Leaf 2 die and using Peeled Paint distress ink coloured them and then shaped them.

I then adhered the leaves and flowers to the card, added the gems and Voila !!! Finished !

It really is quick and easy to make abut 20 mins but so effective!!

Happy crafting!
