Stick to what you know best...

Happy Monday!

Today's title refers to the fact that I am, again, posting a card with the Sue Wilson Background die form the Californian collection.  Its also square and large so I've kinda shown this style and design a few times lol.

This creation is different and not just because of a colour change this time I die cut the background using parchment which gives a different look!









I started by die cutting a square from parchment using the Sue Wilson Californian background die.  To cut a square you do have to run the die piece through twice moving the die to form a square.  I then , of course, studded this with ever present pearls (next project with this I will try to use something different do pearls come in black?!?)

I then die cut A4 pieces of card with different sized square alternately starting with navy and finishing with Navy.  The front piece was hand cut to match the square parchment piece which was back mounted behind.

To construct all I need to do was to foam mount each piece behind the front with foam tape getting progressively smaller each time.



The sentiment is cut using Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles centre die which  I inked in the die and stamped with the sentiment form Crafters Companion.  I mounted this onto a scrap of Navy and hand cut a border around it.


To decorate I added a trip of dotty ribbon in matching navy and white around the whole card front, as I wanted this to look as neat inside as outside, and tied it in a simple bow at the front.

The cameo is one I bought cheap in the U.K. last year sorry can't remember where from.  A few of Wendy's hatpins that match and finished.

Enjoy...
