Happy Sunday,A quick post today sorry as I've been whizzing round the country again and am short on time sorry.
This is one of the samples form my shows this month on Hochanda. I did my usual of using one of Sue's dies to make a frame this time its the mini gemini Vela. I simply cut a square of coconut foundation card and cut the filigree and one outside edge around each of the four sides.
Next I used the double pierced squares to make a set of frames form the middle of the border piece. I rotated one to make the centre frame, added a shaded piece behind and a sentiment. I finished with some of the stunning laurel leaves and a diagonal folder flower in ivory felt.
Have a great Sunday, enjoy...
Morning John, this is a gorgeous card and a fab. colour. Take it easy today

Hi John. What a lovely card. I haven't used striplets like this so must give it a go. I have a fair few of them and each time Sue brings another one out I don't buy it until one of you shows your lovely cards using it and then its a must have. SueLx
