I made this card using one of the three Carnation Crafts - 'Stand Out Floral Frames' and downloaded
vignettes. I made a background for the topper using a picture of the topper and my
graphics programme. I also made the sentiment. In fact I made several different
sentiments in different colours and they can be slipped in amongst the
decoupage. This way you can choose at the time what sentiment you wish to use.
This is the card:
I cut out several of the die-cut decoupage sheets to fill the centre and add to the four corners. I used my Carnation Crafts Crystalline Circle Die Set to cut out the two pink matting layers.
Copied here from the Carnation Crafts site are the three sets. I bought all three and have already made the diamond one to show at a later date.
I first saw one of these sets when I received a beautiful birthday card from Sue (Tossell) made using the square set.
Here is just the cropped centre of Sue's card.
I have enjoyed making the two cards that I have managed to make, and, will soon be having a go at the square one.
I look forward to your visits and any comments you care to leave will be avidly read and appreciated.
I also look forward to my visits to your blogs.

What a beautiful card Carol and a great idea to make the sentiments to slip into the flowers. I must admit to being adicted to Carnation Crafts dies sets at the moment.
