Naughty me...

I have been a very poor blogger, don't look how long ago it was since I last posted! I have the usual excuses, but I'm not going to bore you with those, lets get straight to a card.

This card and possibly my next couple I put on are all inspired by the wonderful Sue Wilson.


As you may have already worked out I am very partial to a square card or two, so this was my starting point, 8x8 pearl base.
Then I just had to play with my recently bought dies, I think they are called grand decorative circles, these are fab as they each have a different patterned edge.
I wanted a clean simple style (that is definitely my chosen style for card making) so I inked the edge of my circle. I cut 2 smaller dies to use as a mat, I embossed them both and have only a small portion showing from behind my circle, they look very different this way, making them more versatile, I inked these around the edges too.


The pearl swirl was made using cosmic shimmer pearl glue, quite easy to do when you get the hang of it and much cheaper than buying them ready made.
I used the same cosmic shimmer glue to add pearls around the decorative part of my circle.


I hope you like my simple card, I hope to add a few more over the next couple of days.
Thank you for looking, until next time, Happy crafting Dawn x
